Your ultra defensive stands on this is more telling than your words. You are, like most people who love their lives making excuses, using extreme cases to justify the norm. That doesn't work in reality as we know it. Of course there are exceptions to any rule. But the fact that you are arguing that most obesity is caused by over eating speaks volumes of your mindset. If you want to convince yourself that over eating and under exercising has nothing to do with the obesity of this nation then how do you explain the underweight nations who don't have access to Mc Donalds? According to your view we would find just as many obese people in areas where food isn't readily available. But the fact is that where there isn't an abundance of food there is no obesity. People who eat too much are lucky in comparison to people who don't have enough to eat. You can, if you have a mind, stop yourself from getting seconds, thirds and fourths. .. but some REALLY unfortunate people don't have that choice.
As far as you wanting proof that too much food and not enough moving causes most cases of obesity? Would you also like proof that things fall to the ground if you drop them.
How about you prove to me that most obesity cases are healthy eating exercise nuts? Lol
Look.... if you need to fool yourself into tubing l thinking you have no choices so be it. Just don't spread that kind of cancerous non truths to others. The message is simple.... other than a tiny percentage of individuals who truly have no choice in the matter. .. people can achieve what they want to. That is a good message to anyone who doesn't have an agenda. The agenda being to justify their unhealthy and ignorant behavior. And those people know who they are.
Last but not least. If don't turn your poor dog into a four legged version of yourself want to make excuses for being unhealthy so be it. Just don't turn your poor dog into a four legged version of yourself, OK? That's borderline abuse considering the suffering that causes to a dog.

So sad you have no source for your 99 per cent assumption.
My goodness you read a lot into what I say.
I didn't say that over eating and under exercising has nothing to do with the obesity of "this nation", and I would not say that, as frankly I have no idea which nation you live in.
Yes, I do love my life. I am mostly healthy, happy, have a great job, great salary, loving longtime partner, etc. etc. I eat healthy and exercise frequently. This is a good thing IMHO. I don't need excuses for anything as I have nothing to be excused for.
I don't explain or frankly care why McDonalds access might be a thing.
I said no such thing as we would find just as many obese people in areas where food isn't readily available, nor anything about having multiple helpings. What are you even going on about?
Where do you get the stats to back up that percentage of individuals truly have no choice in the matter and that people can achieve what they want to by sheer willpower. Source please?
I don't have an agenda to justify anything. I wasn't talking about unhealthy and ignorant behaviour.
My sister is not healthy, but not ignorant. Really? I don't choose to define her intellectual and physical disabilities as ignorant.
My neighbour with multiple sclerosis is not ignorant! Really? Unhealthy, yes, but not by choice. Ignorant? Nope. Very well informed and cognitively intact.
My friend with schizophrenia is unhealthy, but not by choice, nor ignorant.
My boss is certainly neither unhealthy by choice nor ignorant.
These are not extremes, but real other people's lives.
Lots of real people, whose choices are medically limited.
Your beliefs and the realities of others do not mesh.
Look at them, and see them as people. Real people. Not one per centers. People that would love to look like the picture of health, and yet, do not. Dismiss them with simple labels as lazy and ignorant, and you would be wrong.
You said "If don't turn your poor dog into a four legged version of yourself want to make excuses for being unhealthy so be it. Just don't turn your poor dog into a four legged version of yourself, ".
Talk about assumptions. What would be wrong with that? She'd be a loving, caring, gentle, mostly healthy and self defining soul...oh...too late. She already is! And she wouldn't be allergic to wasp bites.
I defend the people I know and love who are not actually lazy, lacking willpower and overeating so I must be unhealthy and ignorant, obese, and putting my dog at risk?
Do you feel yourself jumping to conclusions that are baseless? Good workout but wrong. No facts about how fat I might be needed, eh?
I make no excuses for myself, thank you. I'm good with me. I don't need to tell you anything about me because you assume so very much, but you are not correct.
My journey is not your journey.
I don't want or need to be other than I am. You don't need to make baseless assumptions about me and the world of people and dogs that don't fit in your ideals.
Defend your thesis that obese living creatures, especially humans, are 99 per cent fully at fault for their health conditions and by sheer force of will can change this,. Would love to cure MS, diabetes, seizure disorders, thyroid conditions, schizophrenia, genetic disorders....etc.
