Another simplistic take on a complex multifaceted problem. ”… it’s not that you eat too much, it’s that you’re lazy…” I’ve spent 30 years caring for diabetics and obese patients. Yes food is a contributing factor, yes exercise (lack of) is a contributing factor. So are hereditary factors, gut microbiota and societal stressors. My message is not that there is no hope, it’s just not easy and simple.
