Obesity is not due to an eating disorder, it's due to sedentary lifestyles, pedestrian hostile neighborhoods, and market forces in the food industry.
Wrong. Not in most cases, but binge eating disorder is a thing.
But I hope parent commenter never has to live personally through finding out just how life destroying the predominant cultural attitudes around body form & food around us are. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Obesity is by far the least of concerns.
And I think this has become far more common than people will admit. We're burning out our pancreases through processed & high sugar, low-GI foods because the industrial food supply is poorly managed and under-regulated.
That plus cars.
