Deep apologies. You were not who I intended the post for. In fact you are right on in your assessment.
These threads generate more hostility than Trump/Cruz threads.
Obesity is not a character flaw it is a disease that certainly can be reversed by forced starvation. People can not live in a constant state of hunger, those that say they can have never been hungry. That was the point of the picture.
It’s quite alright, and thank you very much.
You are exactly correct, it’s not a character flaw; and I’m hoping that the more science we get behind it, the more people can be helped. I have a close acquaintance who went through bariatric surgery to solve the problem because she was afraid her diabetes would kill her. She’s doing well now, but there were a world of complications for her, and it’s always better when it can be resolved with real lifestyle changes.
Best,
