Sorry, but I worked for a surgeon who did stomach surgery for obese people. He stated that 99.9% of them had a eating problem....they just won’t put their forks down and they won’t get to moving. He’d done thousands of procedures. It always boils down to choices....nobody made them do it.

I agree with you that obesity is a choice. I also think that obesity has much more to do with eating too much and less to do with exercising too little. However, I think fat people have a right to be fat.

Bullshit. They don't have an eating problem. They are just "VICTIMS" of evil corporations like McDonalds that give them tasty cheap food everywhere they look. Gubmint must do something to combat the societal epidemic.

Then he’s part of the problem.

It boils down to ingesting more calories than burned. Not really that complex.
