There seems to be a strong culture towards removing agency from people and allowing them to escape any form of judgement on the consequences of their actions.
Sure, maybe some people really do have thyroid problems; but this idea that overweight people are somehow not responsible for their own condition is ridiculous and dangerous.
I had drug and alcohol problems in the past, it was my own choice, and my own choice to get out of that situation.
I smoked, I chose to stop.
I was unfit due to laziness, and I fixed that too.
None of those situations were the result of anything other than personal choice.
