There are two kinds of obesity.
1. Genetic disorder. Where a human, even as a child, may be fed the
same products as any other child, but they have a genetic disorder
which makes them prone to obesity or fatness.
2. Obesity or fatness caused by over-eating.
The second kind of obesity is one that should cause sadness, pity and
sympathy and not derision or mockery or criticism as many humans do.
Eating or ingesting food is a due to deep sadness and unhappiness.
Often those who over-eat are not aware of why they over-eat. Only
that they feel much better when they do!
The deep gnawing unhappiness or depression or sadness can sometimes by
appeased by eating, sometimes called "comfort eating" and the humans
who are very obese or fat due to this, are basically the humans who
sought comfort in food due to deep sadness and unhappiness.
Sometimes you can trace the reasons for this sadness to maybe an event
in childhood. Perhaps the father or mother left home, perhaps the
death of a sibling, perhaps some event that effected the psyche and
emotions of the sufferer.
But whenever you do see very obese and fat humans.
Rather than deride or laugh at them, or criticise them for their lack
of control of their eating habits.
See instead some very sad and very unhappy humans.

Can you not see from this picture how sad fatness and obesity is?

We are sure he would like to be walking beside a nice girlfriend.
But let's face it. What woman would look at him?
And yet inside there beats a heart the same as any other human.

The epidemic is caused by people eating when they aren't hungry.
People eat when they aren't hungry when they don't even have the
freedom to eat or to not eat.
It ain't a medical issue. It's a political issue.
