A lot of the cases , obesity is as you’ve mentioned , eating more calories. But there are genetics to do it with as well…as well as medicines that cause less calories to be burned etc. Medications which cause increase in hunger producing hormones.
People are/were routinely subscribed corticosteroids for dealing with something minor as allergies/asthma. And these steroids lead to weight gain by supressing hormones which tell you that your body is full.
Hypothyrioidism causes weight gain by malfunction of the Thyriod gland. Again , hormonal issues.
It’s not that easy for people to suppress their body’s physiological craving for food. And by the time , the issue is identified… they are well on their way to a unmanageable weight. It’s not as if people who are overweight / obese like being that.
Anyway , I’m guilty of resurrecting a passing comment by you (w.r.t pizza the hutt - which i find funny given the star wars reference) and relating it to my personal experience. What i meant was my personal space (which i’ve paid for and I’ve entitled to it for the duration o the journey ) being invaded. This conversation has taken a different route since.
You can’t derail this thread. Comes back to really fat people invading a person’s space. Always a case of less donuts unless you believe they can run close to the speed of light as that’s the only way they can gain mass without consuming it. There’s a lovely physics gag for you all.
You’ve failed to point out where I was factually incorrect. You’re doubling down on a lost hand. The only thing I’m ignorant of is a person’s penchant for making claims that can’t be supported by evidence. Prove I’m wrong or retract. I’m curious as to how you gain weight without consumption? You’ll be getting a Nobel prize for this one.
