This has got to be the most idiotic, speculative comment section of the year.
Literally not a single coherent explanation of how plastics might actually cause obesity, and a bunch of people going on about sugar and hormones.

I don't think the onus for that is on the commentariat here. Rather it's on the Washington Post article to bridge these studies of mouse adipose tissue to human health outcomes. It doesn't do that very well, so you're going to see some decrying of potential alarmism and alternative explanations.
