Now you're just being silly or intentionally deceitful (I have no way to tell which over the internet). You know what science has to say about obese children? That if you decrease their calorie intake by decreasing food quantity, and increase their calorie output via exercise, they'll lose weight and stop being at risk for all the health problems that come with obesity. The exact same is true for obese adults.

And you know what, science is exactly right. If you do those things, you will achieve a healthy weight. It's not even questionable - it's a 100% certainty. People are obese because they have chosen (or for young kids, their parents have chosen) to go against that scientific wisdom. Ranting against science when it's precisely the solution to this problem is simply absurd.
