some people have their lizard brains react very poorly to the amount of sugar and fat and salt that’s inside modern hyper palatable food. i don’t think many people necessarily want to get fat enough to be at risk for various diseases, it just happens to them. and there are also people more at risk for impulsive actions or less control over their actions, like people with adhd and autism.
I never understood the fascination with becoming as fat as possible

“I didn’t mean to get fat. IDK, it just happened” pops another sauce-drenched nuggie down the hatch
Sugar has addictive properties, including withdrawal and relapse patterns similar to dependence forming drugs. It obviously doesn’t affect everyone the same way, but a subset of people are at a much higher risk. Make them poor and put them in a sedentary society where all cheap food is made hyper-palatable with excess sugar and fat and…drumroll… they turn obese.
Shaming all fat people isn’t much better than the old caricature of drunkard indigenous Americans. There’s systemic issues at play.
