    I didn’t downvote you because I disagree with your opinion (which I do). I downvoted you because you didn’t even try to make an argument for your case. You gotta give me something to work with, here.

      Why would I create a well crafted argument for people who can’t even understand highschool biology. Let alone research level ideas about energy production, storage, and the genetics of different body types.

        You could perhaps point to research that supports your claim? Would be better than simply talking down to people who disagree with you.

        For instance:

        Obesity is mainly caused by imbalanced energy intake and expenditure due to a sedentary lifestyle coupled with overnutrition. - Source

        The obesity epidemic has been fueled in large part by increased energy from greater availability of highly rewarding and energy-dense food. Diet and various social, economic, and environmental factors related to food supply have a significant effect on patient’s ability to achieve the balance. - Source

        Most researchers also agree that obesity is an “acquired” disease that, heavily depends on lifestyle factors (i.e., personal choices), such as low rates of physical activity and chronic overeating, despite its genetic and epigenetic influences. - Source
