I love how this is the common sense answer and it's the conclusion in the study as well.

But if you read the other comments here, you see people arguing about Roe v. Wade, racism, statistical errors, covid vaccines, etc.

When the whole time the answer is just right there, the hippo in the room if you will lol. Anything to avoid personal responsibility I guess.

> Anything to avoid personal responsibility I guess

Something can be caused by obesity without the primary “blame” being personal responsibility. If Americans are more obese than Scandinavians, is it because there just happen to be more individuals in the US who lack personal responsibility?

Societal problems are a result of societal sickness. We should aim at the root societal causes rather than attribute personal moral failings to the individuals who are a product of that society.

10,000% this. Sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet and little to no regular exercise is a recipe for health complications throughout life.
