I feel you have missed my point. My point was that the obese person who lives in a high rise and has no money, should stop worrying about being overweight, it's simply a visible symptom of the fact that they have underlying health issues. By addressing underlying health issues their weight is addressed. The same way a diabetic who obsesses about blood sugar might sit around ignoring the underlying health issues while injecting insulin and then eating a candy bar to balance that out all day long and never improve his condition. But if they instead focus on eating right, exercise, and healthful practices they will begin to address the underlying health issues.
