You controlled your genetics? You control what tastes good to you? You control feeling hungry? You control the circumstances of your life, society, and civilization and how that interfaces with the previous items?
No, ofc not. That's complete and utter hubris. No one, absolutely no one, is arguing that you have no control. Whatever control we have is necessarrily limited, and demonstrably compromised....and not the strongest predictor of obesity or of weight loss.
Everyone has "control"...and yet........
