I was obese myself, and I have different thoughts on that.

For me, it was purely an issue of personal falling and willpower issue. I was obese because of a diet I was indulging in; full of unhealthy things and snacks.

It was due to nobody else but myself.

You don’t place any blame on the people that marketed and created that diet? Or the regulators who allowed that to happen? At a certain point people’s well being and health should come before a mega corporation’s profits. The whole world would be better off if unhealthy food was more strictly regulated. Children grow up not learning healthy eating habits that last into adult hood and some never learn them.

No, I do not. It was my decision to keep doing so, it was a bad coping mechanism I developed. My actions are nobody else fault but mine.
