People are fat because they consume more calories than they burn off. It's as simple as that. It's so funny because you call it disinformation that obesity is the result of bad personal choices which it obviously is but repeat propaganda that comes straight out of the 'fat positivity' movement. Boo hoo healthy at any size and also its not my fault as I sit here shovelling cake into my gob it's glandular...

As Ricky Gervais once joked its not glandular its greed.

Such a small mind. You should go back to s/[n-word]areshit.

Tell me Ô great scientist of metabolism, what is the effect of mercury, cadmium, aluminum, lead and / or arsenic on the mitochondria and how does that affect your "simple equation of calories in / calories out"?

    Yeah you are speaking out of your ass. You know nothing about metabolism and biology. What if the mitochondria make nearly zero energy because their inner workings are disrupted? And then what if your liver is, through dysfunction, hellbent on making bodyfat with everything you eat? Yeah, you're in way over your head, kiddo.

      You seem so informed, why the mindless drivel? OK replace "All" by a high number. 90%? 80%? Pick whichever one you like mkay.

      One factor among hundreds. There's many way to counter the effects of slowed metabolism as well it's not the only thing we're dealing with here. Obviously exercise and diet are the two factors people could control the most but in your other comment you recommended testing for heavy metals in people and using methods to reduce it which I'd fully support if I were POTUS. You're still not going to magically get thin if you get rid of heavy metals though. You need exercise and diet.
