    Obesity is not a systemic issue, it’s a caloric and exercise issue.

    I don’t see the point or humanity in shaming fat people, but I also don’t see the point in soothing ego by coddling.

      Systemic issues can affect the amount and quality of both calories and exercise in people’s lives though, so they can at least contribute to obesity. Especially when we’re talking about industrial food production.
