[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess what bothers me about your posts, esp. the second one, OP, is that you seem to view fatness and fat people as entirely self-willed -- as if they just sit down to unhealthy food 3 times a day because they want to be obese, having made that decision.  ing fat people alone.

Not OP, but most overweight people do have some say over their size. If they're not choosing healthy food and exercise, that is a matter of will or, if they're a very small child, *maybe* not knowing better. Most people do not have medical conditions or special circumstances making them fat.[/quote]

DUH.

Eating junk food is a matter of will.  Gaining weight from eating junk food, and losing weight when you are obese, are highly complicated matters of metabolism, genetics, access to healthy foods, luck, and a whole range of other factors. And losing weight is easy.  Keeping it off is hard.[/quote]

Calories in vs. calories expended, it's not complex at all.[/quote]
