You got fat by eating too much, especially processed food with lots of unhealthy additives, and not exercising enough relative to your calorie intake. It is simple. You don't see fat people in a famine. You cannot be fat except by overeating and consuming more calories than you burn.
It doesnt seem simple because the solution requires self will and self control. Much like a muscle, these qualities strengthen through use or grow flabby and weak by constantly giving in to urges. And you would rather blame other factors, from genetics to environment or pop a magic ozempic pill rather than master your own behaviour.
The fact that you argue so strenuously that there is no easy solution to overreating tells me exactly on which side of the self control divide you are one.
If she had any training / experience / expertise in nutrition she would be able to list off societal, cultural, physiological, and economic factors that have appeared and brought about these changes since the time when "people did not use to be fat".
She would be able to point to research.
But so far all we get is the unsupported opinion - simplistic "The solution lies within you" clichés - of some anonymous person in social media.
tells me exactly
I'm surprised she thinks this is worth mentioning.
You are so obtuse I am starting to think you are a bot, regurgitating the same broken arguments.
Tell me how if you reduced your calorie intake you would not lose any weight. Have your fat genes discovered a way to create matter out of nothing? Amazing.
And dolts like you think that you have to be a nutritionist to figure out you should eat less, exercise more, and moderate your caloric intake. No wonder you are what you are.
Actually it was more of a question folks. I'll repeat it:

Instead she offers platitudes of the "wars would be unnecessary if we would all just be nice to each other" ilk.
80% of the US population is overweight or obese https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity and over 60% of Canadians are too. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-625-x/2019001/article/00005-eng.htm at least.
Kinder12 thinks there's a simple solution.
Hah!
But it does give her someone to look down on, so she's got that going for her, which is nice.
You do realize that people did not use to be fat?
