> As my friend put it, there's a shortage of discipline in the world.
This is very wrong. Obesity is not a shortage of discipline, is a hormonal disruption. We play havoc with insulin eating too much of things we didn't evolved to eat.

If one exercised discipline and consumed 1500 kcal of even modern, terrible, HFCS-infused food, they would not get fat. Period. They won't necessarily be healthy, but they will not be overweight.
Anyway, this argument is not novel nor is it in the scope of this thread. Just wanted to say congratulations to the OP.
There are many people who do have legitimate health problems that cause obesity, sure. But the vast majority of us fat folk (I still hover around 280) eat too much and move too little.
