    Is it immoral to be obese?

    Assuming that everyone considers allowing children to starve is immoral are the obese immoral AND that obese person doesn't suffer from weight-gain medical conditions?


    From my perspective it's a sign of gluttony. Poor nutrition is the cause of death in almost 50 percent of children under five world wide, some 805 million people do not have enough food to lead an active healthy life. So how then can some people ethically overeat to the point of obesity.

    If you are raising a butter golem you should be charged with child abuse.

    Nothing says love and care like a heart attack before 30.

    I'm guessing you don't have any problems with your weight. You really need to get off your high horse.
