Modern obesity is a complex problem and not easily solved. I don’t think even olden-days obesity was easily solved, otherwise there would have been no “matronly” society matrons (for one example) if money could have solved their figure problems.
I would not ignore one obvious reason for overeating. Food can be delicious. Ice cream (best Peat-approved type) goes down very, very easily. And it does not give me indigestion. Instead, I will have a lot of energy during waking hours and good sleep at night. But fattening! Healing but fattening. A real dilemma.
Fifty pounds overweight is so common. Such women (talking women here) are often told they look fine. No body shaming! And so on. And in some ways, this makes sense. Because those with 100, 150, 200 pounds overweight would look at the person “only” 50 pounds overweight and wish they were there.
