Yes, if they were forced at gunpoint to eat right and exercise they would be healthy, plain and simple. There is no arguing around this. They are simply physically lazy.
I can’t believe I have to point this out. Folks who lived in times of food shortages.. still could end up being obese.
In addition to that, being obese/overweight isn’t always “unhealthy”. Just like being skinny, isn’t always healthy. It’s an individual persons health, and that’s between them and their doctor. There are countless variables in that equation.
And you frankly have no say in that, nor should you judge them for anything in their personal life related to health. Doing so is immoral and prejudicial.
No, being obese is never healthy. Somehow society has been brainwashed into thinking obesity is normal and healthy. Completely wrong. I highly recommend exercising and being in shape. You can eat more calories if you exercise more, if you just like eating a lot of food.
You have low social and emotional intelligence. They’re more important skills to have than you might think.
You might think your bluntness is charming or provides utility ultimately. It doesn’t. It’s offensive, inconsiderate and ineffective if trying to actually persuade anyone (except perhaps yourself).
Further your notion of how weight gain is correlated with “physical laziness” is deeply reductive and indicative of a lacking in basic empathy.
Basically, you’re being an ass hole. It would not surprise me if you were diagnosed with some sort of personality disorder like NPD. Hope that goes well for you in life.
No I have a great life full of friends and family and success. Being obese is a physical ailment, such as being addicted to heroin, except it’s donuts and cheeseburgers and pizza. It will kill you. I have family who are extremely obese with all of the usual ailments associated. It’s very sad and 100% preventable, and recoverable. But they would rather die I guess.
We are coming full circle here. You have rightly acknowledged the link between heroin addicts and food addicts. We don’t expect anyone to hire heroin addicts, they need to find treatment and therapy before they would be considered employable. These are very risky, potentially dangerous people. However we as a society look around and see obese people everywhere, suffering from the same addictive tendencies. I think the crossover in personality traits is high between drug addicts and obese people. Physically fit people have a lot of positive characteristics and self discipline that lead them to being in shape. Therefore I will wait for the obese to get treatment for their addiction before I associate with them.
