Because diet and exercise can lead one to lose weight, unless one has some illness that would contraindicate doing that.First, that's not actually true. Diet and exercise can lead to a temporary weight loss, but this provokes the body to react as if it were starving— metabolism slows to compensate for exercise, and hunger increases dramatically causing diets to end. "Willpower" is not a solution; very few people have the willpower to override basic survival instinct. (If you think otherwise, I'll pay you $1,000 to hold your hand in a candle flame for an hour; pain and the instinctive drive to end it is just a survival reaction, so surely you can muster the willpower to put it on hold for a mere hour to earn such a considerable payout.) Significant permanent weight loss is biologically impossible for most people. However, more importantly, you have not explained why being fat is a personal failing. Even if something could be changed by a simple act does not make the refusal to do so a "personal failing." After all, you could easily learn how to become a plumber; does that make your lack of plumbing skills a "personal failing?" |
