To quote dear leader who is most definitely implicated and ran his campaign on releasing the Epstein files, "Are we still talking about Epstein!?"

Obesity is literally a self control issue.

You sound like you don't believe in ADHD “just finish what you started, have some impulse control!“, or autism "read the room, don't be so literal and stop getting distracted by noise and light, just ignore it".

It night be plausible that most people can just avoid the first cigarette or the first spliff or the first anything, but no one can avoid food, and some people's biology, their hormonal balance, their brain chemistry, mental health, shit, just their metabolic rate can make them have a very, very different order of magnitude of problems with food.

So it's easy for you to have self control around food and balance your calorie intake with exercise? Great, good for you, but stop acting all morally superior for not having problems in your life.

Get lost with that judgemental "it's simple" shit and try to learn a bit of self control yourself over what kind of nasty judgementalism you're spouting online without thinking about other people.

In my home town of Houston, the city decided to crack down on the number of topless bars (which developers considered an eyesore). But they still recognized the bigger establishments as lucrative sites for labor exploitation popular with the O&G business community.

So they found a middle ground. There is now a ceiling on licensed venues, with 16 registrations permitted inside city limits. Each club holding a registration must contribute to a $1M pot that's provided to the Houston PD's "anti-sex trafficking" division. This affords police a fund by which they can do "undercover investigation" of establishments.

Everyone wins.

Show me where obesity is hereditary and not habit based?

I can't show it to you, it's a hard subject requiring a lot of data. But everybody having obese relatives know that they generally eat the same things and still get obese!

Sugar is still calories and still comes out as burned energy and processing those calories does not matter because it is still burned as energy.

You don't know what you are talking about.

They may eat healthy but they eat a lot of healthy food which is still calories and they don’t exercise which is how you burn calories.

You don't know what you're talking about. Yep, exercise is very good, with different effects on different people still.

Why are you taking personal attacks at me?

Because:

Obesity is literally a self control issue. If you dont exercise, don’t eat as much.

It's a different magnitude self control issue for different people. It's a self control issue for me - if I eat only burgers for a month, I might start getting obese (more likely just die), I just have to avoid that. It's a self control issue for my sister - if with her steamed vegetable diet she exercises a bit less, she gains weight. These are not comparable.

If you eat a ton, you have burn those calories or they will store up. This is the just how this works.

You are not saying anything valuable, that's just how this works. Health is complex.

Shocking to see people defending one of the most exploitative industries out there just because its the republicans prosecuting them

Health is not complex. Eat right. Work out. Everything else falls into place.

Stop making excuses for bad habits that harm people. If you truly cared about your friends and family, you will tell them when they are unhealthy. If you encourage their behavior, you are an enabler and they will die sooner rather than later.

Obesity costs america trillions of tax payer dollars in Healthcare and productivity. Obesity is burying hospitals.

There is no way you can compare adhd or autism to Obesity. Obesity is a choice. Medical conditions are not. People choose to eat more and exercise less. I have no sympathy for people that make everyday life harder on society with no accountability.

The fact that you think having one cheeseburger is the equivalent to Crack cocaine is telling.

All it takes is a 30 minute walk daily and to eat a salad once a day. But apparently that's too much for some people and now they have to harm society with medial bills, lack of productivity, special treatment, and inconvenience.

The most unhappy, nasty people I know are obese because in there mind they are victims and its everyone else's fault but their own. They take no ageny or accountability for their actions.

All that weight hurts your body so much and when you can't even leave the couch to open the door for the 24 wings and loaded fried with a gallon coke , maybe its time for self reflection.

Go ahead. Defend people's poor life choices that are harming themselves, their family, and their communities. Support their victim mentality and tell them there is nothing that can be done and that they and beautiful just as they are when they need another person with a stick to hold up their fat just so they can have sex.

Obese body positivity is a death sentence and a depression enabler. Every person should always work on themselves to be better and that includes keeping your body and mind well maintained, no matter what their size is.

Congratulations on ignoring literally everything I said and arguing with some fictitious person who is "body positive" about obesity or who doesn't think it's a problem. I mean, I've come across straw man arguments before, but this one takes the biscuit.

You think your hate and contempt can fix other people, but you're very, very, very wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if you shout at homeless people or at last rant about them for half an hour behind their backs.

Also congrats on completely, utterly and comprehensively falling the self control challenge I set you.

Turns out your self control in some things is at absolute zero.

Still really proud of yourself? I bet you really are, because you're not very introspective so far today.
