It is amusing to hear people in my presence saying "why don't people just exercise more and eat less?"<br/><br/>Um... Because every fiber of ones being is telling them to do the opposite and being subjected to the stress of daily life, not to mention that the stress of ignorant know-nothing know-it-alls telling them how simple it is to be thin is amplifying the desire to not eat less and exercise more. <br/><br/>People see being overweight as a character flaw as they do with depression so they react with hostility to potential medical cures or treatments. All people are equal in their eyes and if they can stay thin and happy then everyone should be able to and if they can not it is obviously due to them embracing the wrong religion or the wrong cultural elements or being of the wrong political views etc. etc. etc. People who have never had a problem controlling their weight have no clue as to the difficulty involved.
