I know cases like this exist, as I spoke about in my post. Just that it's hardly typical. On average I don't think this would be the case if most other obese people had the same regimen.
In your case, it would be an actual disability. I just have a hard time believing it's the case for most overweight people. Again, with the example of my roommate, he lost a lot of weight eventually.
Most people just don't give a crap. And it's not just overweight people. It's drive in general. It's much easier to catch up on Netflix than write a book, or start a business, or take the dog for a walk. We're all in a culture of laziness and excess.
I was just responding to DA's remark that exercise is more important than weight control. For 99.9 percent of the population, that's really the same thing. They wouldn't be getting proper exercise and still be overweight.
