Parents that are overfeeding their child with tons of food everyday are immoral and they should be put in prison for that in my opinion because a child doesn’t understand the full social ramifications of obesity. A child does not know that they could potentially die if they get a heart attack or stroke.

I believe that if an adult still choose to be obese despite knowing the potential risk that could happen as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle then I think it’s morally okay for them to continue living that lifestyle. However if an adult is obese then they should pay more taxes, pay double bus fare and pay double the price for airplane tickets as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle. Because cardiovascular is number 1 cause of death in Canada and we should never encourage people to live unhealthy lifestyles that cause cardiovascular disease.

    You obviously don’t know shit about this topic.

    Edit: I don’t have a weight problem, never have. I am active and eat healthy. I have seen other people eat and exercise like me and not have success in keeping weight off.

      You don’t know what those other people are doing behind closed doors when you are not there. They might exercise and eat very healthy foods when you are around and then when they go to there house that might completely binge eat chocolate and ice cream which result in them being in a massive calorie surplus despite you think that they’re not.

        You’re incredibly ignorant.

        I’ve lived with some of these people, as in they slept in the rack below, beside or above me. Around them as much as was possible due to being on the same ship, same watch.

        You sound like a kid who hasn’t been anywhere, done anything or even completed high school.

          I think you’re incredibly ignorant if you actually believe that there are people in they world who can’t be at healthy bodyweight by simply eating in a calorie deficit everyday consistently.

          Do some people have a slow metabolism than other people of course they do. Women in general have much slower metabolism than men because they’re shorter and have less muscle mass than men but at the of the day if they want to lose weight and be at a healthy bodyweight they still need to be in a calorie deficit in order for them to do that.
