What if that is the only choice they are being offered? When you go into a supermarket you are already being surrounded by awful food. The only good food there is the food you cook from scratch.

It's like the food industry is "conspiring" against you. Obviously they are not, they just deliver crap quality to make more money.

Yes, education is definitely part of it. It’s possible to eat one meal a day (intermittent fasting), it’s a choice many aren’t educated about (hunger pain goes away after a few minutes, esp. if there is enough water intake).

Framing obesity as a choice is at least as useless as framing any other drug addiction as a choice.

I don't understand why the discourse on this topic so rarely focuses on its root cause: food addiction.

Is it just easier to think of fat and obese people as weak-willed rather than addicted?

Is the goal to shame them rather than help them?
