Perhaps Iβm ignorant, but obesity is largely a personal problem, no? The core issue is consuming more calories than the body is expensing, so how is that anyone elseβsβ problem?
Do you think people magically started overeating just recently? There have there been changes in our food, changes in how we digest and our gut microbiome, pollutants like microplastics and forever chemicals, or other factors could have an influence on why we are getting fatter.
We created narcan and methadone even though that is at least as much a personal failing.
Weβve literally wasted decades because weβve treated obesity as a personal failing rather than researching the problem.

Poor people? Absolutely. They couldnβt afford enough calories to get fat.
There have always been fat rich people.
Food has been cheap and plentiful since the 50s. Obesity started decades later.
