The thing is we are what we eat, eat crap and you will be crap.Type-2 diabetes is generally considered preventable. Generally. No one makes the claim that it is 100% preventable in every situation for every person. Same is true for obesity.
Now how do you expect to victim-blame the obese when they didn't know how to prevent their obesity? They were told they had to eat less and exercise more, but in reality it has absolutely nothing to do with the conscious choice of the quantity of food you consume: it has to do with the food itself that is concerned. They were not told that added sugars may be obesenogenic - in fact in the 1970's they were told the exact opposite: eat less fat and more sugar. They were not told that wheat and other grains may also be obesenogenic.
So how the fuck were they to know that eating bread and drinking fruit juice would make them obese over time?
