Yep, that's what I intended to convey; sorry if that wasn't clear.

Sometimes it's a side-effect of a drug. Sometimes it's a symptom of other issues in the body/mind.

My point is that people who are obese (to an extent that causes issues like sleep apnoea or other complications) are not that way because they simply choose to be that way, or because they "just eat too much".

People who can easily lose the weight have already done so. Everyone else is stuck with it, for one or more of any number of complex reasons, and outside observers are in no position to pass judgment.
