some of you all are so ****ing ignorant. just stfu.
if you seriously believe that 'doing a bit of exercise and eating healthy' or 'just eat less' is going to fix obesity than you should pay more for health care so that y'all can afford a head shrink which y'all clearly need
No. There are too many factors to obesity that it can't simply be summed up "just eat less/excercise". It is usually caused by a mental illness - depression very often leads to binge eating and bulimia - or bad habits that were given by irresponsibe mothers and fathers at a very early age.
Being side-eyed on the streets doesn't help either, it actually makes things worse.
Science shows that genetics plays a role in obesity. Genes can directly cause obesity in disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome.
If my mother was obese when she had me, I'm most likely going to have genes inside of me that triggers my behavior to overeat. However genes do not predict future health.
No. If your mother was obese when you were born, you will get obese because she force fed you McDonald's at 2 years old.
Some disorders can cause obesity, but obesity is 95% due to bad eating/life habits.

But all those things still put their health at risk. In most insurance fields, higher risk = higher premiums, whether it's your fault or not.
I'm so tired of the fat-shaming, condescending queens on this site thinking they're above somebody because they're so proud to have the body of a 12-year old girl.
Obesity is influenced by genetics. If you're going to charge people for being obese, you might as well charge white people more because they're likely to develop skin cancer or gay men because they're more likely to contract STDs.

Influenced by, not caused by. The primary cause of obesity is not eating healthily and greed.
