"good metabolism" = "low appetite", really. The differences between people's ability to process food and store fat are very small.

It's common to think "look at that skinny guy who eats Chipotle and 5 Guys all the time, he has such a fast metabolism!", but then if you actually track his calories, you'll realize that one meal at Chipotle is the majority of what he eats in a given day, compared to fat people who are snacking constantly

uhhh no? I eat anywhere from 3,000 - 5,000 calories a day and never go past 200lbs. I don't exercise at all and what I'm eating is the worst possible food.

Maybe something is medically wrong with me which is possible.

I'm guessing because fats won't continue to pay for "treatment" where someone tells them they are gross and can fix it with work but will pay for someone to tell them they are healthy and will go back and pay for the same speech over and over

tangentially related but in the Star Citizen thread their community manager and his wife have ballooned to like 500-600 pounds.

He was hospitalized for life threatening sepsis and in the images on twitter you can see literature for healthy eating and losing weight the hospital gave him, and info on my fitness tracker.

Immediately after being released he posted on twitter about getting delivery cheesecake factory, followed a few days later by angry tweets about how the doctor said he was healthy and he doesn't understand why people keep telling him to lose weight.

followed by a tweet where he was eating a chocolate sauce / oreo and marshmallow cream sandwich the size of a cake.

So yeah, i can definitely see people paying for validation like that, since they will make it up if they have to. An "Official" message of validation probably saves them that little feeling of shame when they are stuffing their face. I can come up with ______ reason to eat an entire cake but if I have a doctor say my lifestyle is healthy I can be reassured in my decision to eat an entire cake.
