If you weight 500lbs, it's becuase you eat more than you need. Biology is pure math. Calories in, calories out. There is no opinion or empathy in that calculation.
Medication and living situations can definitely effect it though, and those who struggle with weight absolutely deserve support and kindness.
But society needs both sides of the friction to genuinely encourage change. The condemnation side to prevent normalization, and the support side to welcome those who wish to change.
I support and encourage those who need it. But I will continue to condemn and mock those who refuse.
Obesity wouldn't be the problem it is if it were just a personal choice. Plenty of people hardly have time for a healthy diet and lots of the quick, cheap, and easy options are calorie dense and addictive. It is very easy to unknowingly eat way too many calories without realizing it.
I won't say I didn't laugh at the joke. I did. But having been fat myself I can say that having people give me shit for my weight would never be helpful. Normalizing body shaming is more likely to create eating disorders and depression than it is to help fat people lose weight.
You don't need to shame fat people to shame Nazis.
