Typical Duff topic, wrapped up well. I think the percentage is higher though, more like 5-10%, and apart from that, we need to take into account that our society has moved towards being way more inactive with a surplus of food. Keeping the environment into account, it's difficult to avoid the typical fast food at any time nowadays. Nearly all of us are somewhat formed by the advertisements we see. It's hard to have a choice when it's Mc donalds or burger king, pepsi or coca cola. I'm happy to see changes though, Coca cola has a low sugar shift here in Holland. Social "evolution" is demanding lower sugar products. It's a start for improvement, I've yet to see spongebob squirepants on water in supermarkets, as the advertised beverage for children

then it all boils down to the typical argument about personal responsibility, which often underlayingly separates the left from the right in any type of debate.
it would be hard to find an exact %, but I'm happy that you agree that the majority of people can lose weight if they want to.

i don't really wanna discuss this any further, at this point it's just semantics.

Alright, I'll let you go, saying the seen shift comes from the left

The worst part about this is America they actually premote obesity with things like "Big is beautiful"

Its disgusting

Don't mind a girl that's fat in all the right areas

But "calories in/calories out" is an oversimplification. Different people do not extract equal amounts of energy from food. They do not excrete equal amounts as waste. They do not burn energy at an equal rate in resting state. They do not achieve the feeling of "fullness" at equal levels of food consumption. There are so many variables.

It also ignores the genetic-based mental conditions that produce overeating and food addiction. Nobody blames sufferers of Tourette syndrome for their motor tics, but they blame people genetically predisposed to overeating for doing so. It's just an irrational perspective (and yes they are analogous, Tourette syndrome typically produces voluntary tics).

We have already isolated many of the gene expressions that overwhelmingly correlate with excess eating and obesity, so we know, as a confirmed fact, that obesity frequently or even usually has a genetic component.
