NOTHING MAKES YOU OBESE BUT CONTINUALLY EATING MORE CALORIES THAN YOU BURN. ITS SIMPLE PHYSICS.
This is a blanket statement that just isn't true. It's like saying if you don't smoke and don't live with smokers you won't get lung cancer.
That's just not how it works.

I'll agree that most people who are overweight are overweight because of lifestyle issues, but to say that all fat people are lazy or did it to themselves is foolish. A calorie isn't a calorie for everyone, there are so many variables in the human body it's not even funny.
When you go get your M.D. and/or P.H.D. come back and we'll see if you still make statements like this one. Until then you're just a skinny person who thinks he's morally superior because of his weight.
