Not everyone overweight is because they are lazy. People have medical problems like a injury that has made most exercise very very hard. Some people were born with certain genes that affects their metabolism or body fat. I fit into one of these categories so I feel for anyone that fights weight problems. It’s easy to be critical of overweight folks without knowing them.

I’m one of those people who gains weight just seeing a food commercial.

All of that was very rare until recent decades.

Kind of the same here, only my reason is due to the effects of Long Covid and no longer having the stamina to do much in the way of physical exertion.

If you’re overweight, you consume more calories than you burn off.

If you can count, and you have the willpower, you can address the problem.
