Fixed that for you.
The morbidly obese are poor - statistically. The food they have available to them leads inexorably to obesity -as well- as malnutrition. They are stuffed and fat, but starving. That, ultimately, is why they eat so much. Thy don;t have the sort of food industry in third world shitholes that we have here. If you uprooted those people, here, and moved them there with all other things remaining the same..they'd be emaciated and starving. As to excersize....since when? I think an 80 hour work week qualifies as exercise (and if it doesn't, it doesn't exactly leave much time for "exercise", does it)............. and yet the chubby remain chubby, why might that be?
"Lifestyle" has just become a convenient smear-word for -any- group a person has a distaste for, particularly when they don't understand them or why they are in the position they are in. Whats the problem with gays? Lifestyle. Blacks? Lifestyle. On and on it goes.
Then, ofc, there are people like my daughter. She's not poor, she eats well, and appropriately, daddy see's too it. She plays all day, I'm guessing she could run circles around anyone here. She's also super chubby. Go figure, lol. There's nothing unhealthy about her, she's just chubby the way some kids at some points in their development put a little weight on before the next vertical growth spurt. Her grandmother, on her mothers side...though, shames the shit out of her, like she shamed her own daughter....who wasn't chubby at all.
