    A healthy body use the other end of the digestive system to out the useless calorie. If you take on weight there is too much calories and something else that is wrong with your life style. If everyone in a society takes weight there is too much calories and something else that is wrong with your society.

      I agree that there are societal issues when it comes to obesity, there is a reason why it is so prevalent in some countries and so rare in others.

      But there comes a point where people have to take responsibility for themselves, no one is forcing a fat person to drink ten litres of coca cola a day and it would be unfair of them to blame their gorging on the state of current affairs.

      The last thing I would endorse is a nanny state that is controlling of what you can and can’t eat.

        Agree but why would you assume a fat person is drinking ten litres of soda a day ? They could have some sort of disease, diagnosed or not.

          I thought that was obviously hyperbole. Obesity due to illness is a minority of cases of which I empathise, for most, it’s too many calories.

            Like I said

            A healthy body use the other end of the digestive system to out the useless calorie.

            So of course the majority of people who store the excedent calories have some sort of body disfunction. Maybe because they have mistread their body in the past, maybe for some other reason. Either way, it does not mean that are now capable for fix their body issue in order to be able to lose weight. Will power doesn’t explain it all.

              Sure, all fat people are stuck in an infinite loop of weight gain due to their weight gain.

              You’re making excuses, losing weight is like stopping smoking. You can say you want to do it, but you won’t until you’re actually committed to the idea.
