All fat people consume more calories than they need. That is not a metabolic problem, that is simple physics and there are no exceptions to this at all.

Absolute BS. You have no idea what you're talking about and I ALREADY proved it with testimony of my personal experience.

I can't believe you think you have some holy directive to label all over-weight people as sinners guilty of gluttony. You're wrong.

Absolute BS.

Absolutely. Average women have a 25% body fat. Where did they get that fat? Rent it?

I am absolutely accurate on this. There is no way an excess of weight can occur without an excess of calorie consumption. The laws of physics dictate without exception that the matter and energy equation is maintained. 3500 calories equal about a pound. If you consume 3500 calories more than you expend you will gain a pound, if you consume 3500 calories less than you expend you will lose a pound. No other formula works. That's the law.

There's no gluttony commandment in the Decalogue; the closest it gets is Thou Shalt Not Covet. In this age of wondrous plenty, it's possible to get monstrously fat on food bought by the money earned in about 10 hours a week at minimum wage. Whatever that would be, it ain't covetousness, and the bible has zilch to say about fatness being bad (in fact in places the bible refers to fatness as good) so long as it is not to the point that it impedes one's service to God.
