> In reaction to that, it is important to understand that for many people weight loss is neither practical nor maintainable

So you're saying that even though the obesity epidemic is an entirely new thing, that there's no way that these people can lose weight and keep it off?

It might require a lifestyle change, but saying it's not possible because change is hard is bullshit.

Maybe most can, which doesn't mean there aren't many who can't. Fat people aren't a new thing.

what if your current life situation doesn't allow you time to go to the gym or spend any time at all meal planning??

Change your life situation? I guess I've worked 77 hour weeks (11 hour days, 3 weeks on 3 days off). No kids at the time, but still had to make my lunches every day because otherwise you didn't eat (working in the field). Meal planning actually saves you time.
