I don't have experience at the uppr reaches of poundage ... Others here may. I have been astonished over the years at just how untrue conventional wisdom has proven. The thing is, the doctors don't know. The best ones at best have a passing grasp at the variability of metabolic conditions out there.

I'll agree with you in that much of modern food development is really bad for people. And that yes people should do what they can. That gets confounded by how misguided much dietary conventional wisdom is. And sure it looks like there is a large population consumed by cravings who do really overeat. One issue is that dysregulation that can cause that to happen (insulin...) is probably one of the things that packs on more pounds faster than the old 3500 calories equals a pound.

But the vilification of the obese that is happening sounds to me like hating people with lung cancer without knowing more than that they have it.
