Now let us address the oft-quoted difficulties the world has producing enough "food" for all the humans numbering 7 billion.
Sounds a bit condescending to me.


Therefore it would be entirely reasonable to suggest that if the gluttonous ceased stuffing their faces with calories they do not need but merely "want" because that cannot stop themselves then there would be, at least in theory, a great deal more sustenance available for billions of people who are in greater need.
You cannot surely believe that if the vast minority of people who are overweight ate less, that it would make any significant impact on the worlds food problems.


Am I the only one who finds the politically correct emphasis on "the right" of people in the "developed" world to do what they like at great cost to the healthcare systems nauseating
This must also apply to smokers, drinkers and irresponsible drivers.


In my opinion your views on the subject of overweight people are bordering on discriminatory, so I would not like to hear your views on the elderly, partially sighted or less mobile in our community.
