For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition.

It is? This sounds more like a moral judgment based on nothing but perception and the way fat people os portray in media and exactly wat the fat acceptance movement try to fight against.

Everyone can shut the f%# up about fatshaming, does someone have scientific evidence that shaming people for being fat does anything other than needlessly hurt people? I am betting that it makes it FAR more likely that the shamed person will spiral into more negative behaviors that result in their health worsening.

Stop mistaking the glee you feel in judging others for a genuine concern for their help. Save your judgement for your own extremely flawed self.

I’ve always felt it’s a mental health issue.

  It’s really just a health issue.

Hi, fat guy here. I can’t speak for others and I certainly don’t know statistically whether or not I represent any kind of majority, but I do know that for me my excessive weight is entirely the result of poor lifestyle decisions.
