With diet, exercise and discipline, most obesity problems of all people would be cured. but it is more comfortable to do nothing and blame genetics

Definitely unpopular lol. I like to think of it as an addiction. Saying an alcoholic doesn’t have enough willpower to put down the bottle is kind of true, but it’s not very helpful. Alcoholics have a much better chance at recovery with a strong support system.
I think the same is true for obesity. An obese person has a food addiction. No one becomes 400 pounds without having an unhealthy obsession with food. Food addiction should have more recognition and support, but it really feels like everyone simply blames the addict when it’s food instead of drugs.
People often do interventions for alcoholics, up until the point where no one can deal with them anymore. People that are obese often get a pass; few people aside from their doctor will talk about their weight, and their unhealthy life. There’s also the problem that a lot of people think they know what they need to do, but don’t really know.
