You are ignorant. This issue is beyond the “I think” phase. Obesity is a disease. This is a fact. Not something you can argue against. Fact. Remain ignorant if you like. Doesn’t change the real world around you, son.

Lung cancer is a diseased caused almost entirely by smoking. Cirrhosis is a disease caused almost entirely by drinking. Obesity is disease caused by shoving trash food into your jowls.

He says the problem also perpetuates itself: "There aren't a lot of people trained in obesity," he says, and "if you weren't trained in medical school and you didn't take it upon yourself to learn about it, you're not going to be in a position to be an informed, expert faculty member."

Most obese people aren't gorging to that extent but you definitely don't need some formal training to be in shape. Additional knowledge might help though

Taking in more calories than you burncan cause weight gain..
I fixed it for him. It’s incredible how bad people are at counting calories. I struggled for years with gaining weight until I started meticulously weighing the food I was to get an accurate counting of the calories I ate in a day. It’s the same for people trying to lose weight who just eyeball portions.

It’s very simple. Put the cookies down and substitute healthy food for snacks. Go for a walk between binge watching Netflix. Drink more water. And then start doing that everyday. Everything else is just an excuse. We have become a soft nation of perpetual victims. It’s pretty pathetic.

Actually the people who want to tell obesity is a disease are the same people who panic when someone asks them to define the word "woman"....

This board is obsessed with fat people. It’s one of the oddest online fetishes that I’ve come across, outside of the Poli Board.

It's not my fault at all. I consume an 800 calorie a day diet. I wash it down with a fifth of Johnny Walker Black and a 2 liter of Coke.
...and so far I've managed to dodge "The Roaches" of the liver.

Ok. What about snacks and beverages?

I find it amazing that people believe the United States, of all places, is intolerant of fat people… when 40 PERCENT of the population is obese.
Clearly we are quite tolerant of overindulgence.

I don't think anyone here is arguing that fact. The part that a lot of people are overlooking and have stigmatized bigly is that hormones play a massive role on some peoples ability to control how much they eat. Think of it like a broken gas gauge in a vehicle. If your gas gauge is always showing that your almost out of gas, you'll feel compelled to stop and fill up the tank more often. Peoples brains are telling them they are hungry even when they have plenty of available fuel. Compounding that is the availability of small high caloric "snacks" that people consume....mostly in the form of sugar.
The good news for both the medical community and for people that struggle with their weight is that we are starting to see drugs come to market address the underlying issue. GLP1 meds are going to be the most significant drug to come about in the last 50 years.

Factors like genetics, hormones, sleep quality and even stigma can cause weight gain. Treating it, therefore, often requires more than just restricting or burning calories.
What a dumbassed syllogism. First, the factors in the first sentence are a fraction of the dietary and other lifestyle-choice factors. And sleep quality is largely controllable and related to same.
The conclusion they reach is reductionist and sets up a false dichotomy. While, on a simplistic level, yes CICO is paramount. But HOW you control CICO, and the overall health effects of shitty food and lack of movement, are the rub.
I’d estimate the following comprises 90% of the battle against obesity and related metabolic disorders:
Eliminate added sugar, reduce other carbs, cut bad fats, and eat a lot of complete proteins, and an easy way to make big strides toward those goals is to cut highly processed packaged foods. And at least walk some everyday.

We’re definitely a sedentary society but also the quality of the food is shite. Even the non junk food is lower nutritional value than in the past.

I have a friend who married the skinny girl in a fat family. He stayed in shape and she got fat after about 8 years, which upsets him.
She sites her family and says she has a genetic gland problem.
He says that's true, it's the gland in the middle of their face.

That's caused by bad food. Stop eating the bad foods and that stops. Human hormone production didn't evolve in one generation, to argue otherwise is absurd.
