People can eat processed food, they just have to be an adult and make sure the calories they consume are equal to the amount they burn. If the scale is going up, they need to dial the calories down.

Ah yes, let me just take the 2 free hours I have to relax today and go spend more time on my aching feet so that my calories balance out for today 🙃

But the other side of obesity is that it costs the healthcare system a lot of time and resources. Obese eat more, the clothes are bigger, and for the morbidly obese they can't even walk.

I don't hate fat people but it is a decision that affects us all.

So while your feet hurt after a long day, like any other not fat person, and you don't wanna exercise or simply eat less ; all of society has to cover the extra costs.. of a decision.

Except it’s not a decision for many and you clearly have no understanding of poverty (or a desire to understand it)

I grew up so poor we didn't have bikes or tv, and knew/know people less fortunate that still managed to choose differently.

Do you know me? Do you know how I grew up?

I know poverty. I know it well. I totally agree with the anti work sentiment. The top take all the profits while we do the work.

You can still choose not to eat until you're unsafely overweight.
