    Health is not complex. Eat right. Work out. Everything else falls into place.

    Stop making excuses for bad habits that harm people. If you truly cared about your friends and family, you will tell them when they are unhealthy. If you encourage their behavior, you are an enabler and they will die sooner rather than later.

      In most cases it’s actually not hereditary, for some it is however. But in most cases, it’s related to mental disease. Lack of impulse control due to ADHD or depression for example. I went through that, finally on medication for 2 months now and I finally have the headspace to lose weight. And I agree with you, that losing weight works wonders on your health. But it isn’t as easy as you make it out to be.

      Social status is also one of those things, especially in countries that are riddled with the cancer that is capitalism. Unhealthy food often is way cheaper than healthy food. Plus, poor people often work 2-3 jobs. They don’t have time to cook healthy meals.

      You don’t seem to get what I’m saying. I’m not saying eating right and working out isn’t necessary.

      I’m saying that you not being obese and some other person being that is most likely not your achievement or their failure. It’s just genetic predisposition.

      I don’t need excuses in this setting.
