“Macgawd, let’s chat again after you develop an endocrine disorder like hypothyroidism, or after you have been taking a drug like Zyprexa (notorious for causing weight gain and diabetes) for five years to manage schizophrenia. I think you’ll find your dismissive attitude a lot harder to justify at that point.”

Then may I direct you to post #7, in which I acknowledge that there can be weight issues not corollary diet or food intake. That being said, hypothyroidism and drugs that have weight gain as a side effect likely account for only a small percentage of cases of obesity–the vast majority are simply due to overeating and lack of exercise.
