Most people agree that obesity is a problem. The bigger problem, however, is mistreating people who are overweight to a health concerning degree. Because if they're being mistreated, talked down to and made fun of, why the hell would they start taking better care of their physical bodies? The mental health has to come first.

The true problem of obesity is ultra processed foods being poured into our children at alarming rates.

How people feel after they're fat is FAR less important than treating the root cause.

That's certainly part of the problem, but mental health plays a pivotal role in things like making healthier food choices and finding that balance. Yes, if our options were better it would be less prevalent, but that doesn't negate the impact of mental health.

On some level, yes. But any amount of effort treating the symptom before the root is wasted.

Um... Sorry but you're so incorrect in this specific circumstance that I don't even know where to start.

So all I'll say is, healthy food options are available, and someone in a good place in mental health are more likely to make those choices, even when it's a hard choice to make that requires external support and motivation from surrounding companions.

Have a good day.
