Just because you don't have the metabolism of some African marathon runner, doesn't mean you have no choice. It's just harder.
But this is anti equity and therefore a microaggression and likely racist. I shouldn't have to work harder or differently to achieve the same outcome. Science is violence.

People who do not recognize the relentless influences upon us are just naïve. Something like 95% of people who lose weight gain it back, that is a staggering statistic. Even a poster above me brags about his willpower yet is only able to lose weight and not keep it off.
The only difference between people today and people 50 years ago, a thinner generation, are external influences. The problem is multifactorial. If you take your normalization glasses off and zoom out, you can see the parabolic deviation from the ways we have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. We traded interdependence and purpose for consumerism and radical individualism. This is western modernity.

You're carrying too much weight for your frame. Congrats on being obese.

Will they blame other people for their weight problems?

You can't blame others for something that you deny even exists in the first place.

Every NPR reporter should be required to be dropped off around the corner of Fairfields Ave. and N. 28th street for at least 3-4 hours. Preferably just before twilight.
Let them try their elitist condescension there.

You can always blame someone or something else these days. It's rarely your fault. Now, let's go eat some high fructose corn syrup.

How small do you think I am?

I'd practically be a skeleton at a healthy BMI. Anything less than 35 and I look sickly.
I'm convinced the BMI scale is slanted towards fat.
My last med visit report said I had a BMI of 26.7 and listed as overweight (6'2", 205 lbs). They are freaking nuts. I would have to lose 15 pounds to get to a BMI of 24. I'd be a skeleton as well.

I believe it assumes that most people carry very little muscle mass.

Do you lift weights? If no, you are overweight.

I'm 6'3 190 and looking to drop another 10 by April.
Not close to a skeleton or concentration camp survivor.

There is no such thing as a food desert. If there were there dang sure wouldn't be any obese people in it.
