    Is obesity a lack of willpower or a disease? The public and obesity specialists disagree.http://nyti.ms/2f1CD5W

        I'm going to go out on a limb and say that maybe the general public at large shouldn't be trusted on their medical knowledge.

        Obesity is a lack of two things: 1. Personal responsibility. 2. Self esteem. Simple as that.

        there may be some science behind metabolic rates and genes but ultimately it's the consumer's fault. Moderate your caloric intake.

        Being obese has scary health risks, habits are not changing, not #PC 2 comment. Clothes are now XXXX sizes to accommodate women.

        More people die of obesity than starvation. Food is abundant, but good food is out of reach for many households. So they eat junk.

        It is a result of eating more than your body need, for most people anyway. #simple

        so perhaps by saying it is 'all genetic' we discourage unhealthy people from actually trying to lose weight.

        of course a few people have it genetically unlucky and have to suffer from such a situation. But many others don't (I think?)

        fat people just make excuses. I lost 35 pounds in 7 weeks, and that's without being able to exercise because of health problems
