Obesity is a bit more complicated than "lifestyle choice"; I don't think it's worth engaging with your question without you understanding that.

So is drug addiction, and that's my point.

    You can become addicted if you're mom is a junkie. You can become addicted from scripts given to you by Dr.Feelgood. There are many ways of becoming an addict without waking up one day and deciding "I'm going to become an addict today".

      Exactly, noone decides to become an addict, it's a long sequence of lines that are crossed until you find you crossed one that would seem unthinkable before. You also don't become obese from one day to the other, and I genuinely also don't think that it's peoples own fault.

      I am frankly appalled by the absence of compassion towards other people in this thread.
