        I was fat...then I worked out and ate healthy (minus pizza and beer). Merica just needs to get off their ass. I get edge cases.

        Weak and lazy? That has not been my experience. Some people have no signal to let themselves know they are full.

        It's a disease due to lack of willpower. Lack of willpower comes first

        It is both. If you are genetically prone to obesity, the more willpower you need to keep it at bay.

        Neither--@nytimes it's a product of purposeful corporate profits, and intentional misdirection and lack of education
