Why is it so objectionable to make an obvious statement like: "Obesity is bad"????

It obviously is. People who are obese would choose not to be (if it didn't take any effort) so why can we not celebrate being relatively fit?? Heart disease doesn't care about your feelings, Type 2 diabetes doesn't care about your self-esteem, your joints and connective tissues don't care if you feel bad about that 5th donut you're eating.

Shame is a tried & true method for society to encourage positive behavior and discourage negative behavior. Don't want to be shamed? Don't lie about your calorie intake/exercise amount. Eat what you KNOW you should (not what you WANT to eat) and move around like you KNOW you should (not how much you WANT to) and I would bet large dollars 99% of the obeasts would lose weight.
