“God forbid that any conservative actually expect science to rule over feelings.”

For people who can maintain a normal weight with a reasonable amount of exercise and a reasonable diet, it is very flattering to believe that anyone could do the same if only they tried.

If there are actual metabolic issues, then you are not morally superior, but only fortunate. Quite a demotion.
