God I hate the fatphobia in this county. Body weight is a symptom, not a cause. And the symptom is never "laziness". Even if it is a lack of exercise (which it rarely is) then there is a reason that person is not exercing.
Speaking as a tubby disabled person who tries their damnedest to stay in shape despite the boulder I'm pushing up hill.
That's not even getting into what we even consider a good weight go be. How nothing is universal health wise (what is good for the daisy is poison for the cactus). How Hollywood has shape our idea of health. I could go on.
I think most of it has to do with food availability. I get groceries every 2-3 weeks because I have to drive out of the city or else I pay nearly double.
End up getting a lot of canned goods for that reason, and if I buy fresh produce I have to use it before the week is up or else it goes bad.
The food we have is also not very filling? I know many people who work in hospitals walking ~12-17k steps a day who still struggle with their weight.
Our food just sucks, every time I visit family overseas I shed weight off like crazy and I don't restrict myself at all when I'm there, either.
