[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So - the reasons people are fat varies and have been discussed here. [b] At the end of the day - it is about your own decision making.[/b]

There are real ramifications to an obese nation - increased health care costs and the next Covid is for certain coming soon.  So what to do?  I do think making fat the near norm is not helpful to anyone.[/quote]

Really, that's your takeaway? [/quote]

Yes, it is.   It’s your decision to put time, money and energy into being a healthy weight.   And it does take time to do that - prepare food, exercise, shop healthy etc.  it’s either a priority or it’s not.   We all have different priorities. [/quote]

It isn’t about priorities. You are ignorant. If someone is raised to eat highly processed foods and too much sugar, they will likely become overweight. It changes them metabolically. They cannot simply decide to prioritize a healthy diet and then become a normal weight. They may lose a few pounds, and some people lose many. But it becomes a lifelong struggle against ingrained habit and the brain’s innate mechanisms to hold on to weight as a survival mechanism. If you have always been a normal weight, then you have no clue how hard this is. Maintaining a healthy weight of you have never been fat is FAR easier than losing it once you have gained it.
