There are numerous reasons beyond diet that affect people's weight. Some people gain weight because they are poor and don't have access to nutritious foods. Others get pregnant or go through menopause that fucks with their metabolism. There are those that gain weight because of accidents and injuries. There are children who at no fault of their own are obese or have underlying conditions.

For those that don't take care of themselves, maybe there are underlying mental reasons. PTSD, traumas of all sorts, abuse, etc.

There are people who were seemingly healthy that died. Explain that shit!

Maybe one day there will be a virus that takes out the fit and beautiful or joggers and tall people. JUST STOP with the goddamn judgement of people you have no idea about.

FUCK OFF to those that judge people who aren't in the image that pleases them, you fucking unsympathetic prigs.
