>My view: It is a health condition, that people do not choose.

If this is true, then why are we so focused on curing it after the fact?

Are we also working on prevention?

If it's not a choice, then what is the cause? And why shouldn't we work on preventing that cause?

I mean it's clean that more people are obese today than in the past right? So what changed to cause that that isn't about people's choice? Why not work on reversing whatever those changes were that caused obesity to increase?

And a separate question:

If it's really not a choice, what would be the approximate rate of obesity among a group or population that all exercised regularly and ate healthy?

I don't think I can be convinced that not exercising regularly and not eating healthy is not a choice.

I just feel like the number of people that would be obese who are regularly exercising and eating healthy would be rather small. And if we agree that exercising regularly and eating healthy is a choice, then it seems at least for many who are obese, it indeed is choice.

I'm not going to say there aren't outliers or other special circumstances, but I still feel like for more people than not, it is indeed a choice.
