Peace to you too Psyah!
Peace diwana
I was trivialising obesity by refering to one of the measurement indexes of it. You can check it up on if you like.
OK. :)
I still do not consider obesity immoral not even when it is caused by greed or gluttony. It is the greed or gluttony that is immoral not the obesity. This way even non-obese greedy/gluttonous people are included.
You have the right to have your opinion by all means. I showed you many reasons why obesity without a medical or psychological reasons should be considered immoral.
By the way, over eating cannot be defined by itself. it is defined in the context of body requirement. Excess consumption of food beyond body needs should be considered over-eating.
Let me explain a bit. I have seen many people eating like a horse and to an occasional observer they might be 'over eating' but these people do good physical activity/exercise either because of the nature of their job or recreationally. That kind of so called 'over eating' is not immoral per se.
On the other hand people who eat seemingly less or adequate looking amount of food, mostly high calorie diet and just sit around and be 'lazy' and non-productive and hence gain extra weight. (Again diseases affecting metabolism are excluded)
*One has to actively look for the reason of being obese and try to rectify it. Its a disease and a precursor of many many diseases. Caring for the body is a responsibility of each individual.
*
That's immorality that even noticing being obese, one just sits around and does nothing. I said this since I already said obesity without reasonable cause is immorality.
I see lots of threads of weight and obesity problems.
If I may, I can write simple formula here. Without making it too much complex.
*Calorie in/gain - Calorie out/expenditure = Body weight
*
(Certain diseases or metabolism disorders need to be taken in to account)
So in order to keep ideal body weight, left side of equation has to be worked on.
Even then you say respect for all obese or non-obese people, one can further to say respect for all people moral or immoral alike. The moment we fail to respect someone even if they are immoral we become immoral like them.
Sure. Respect for all and that includes even 'immoral' people. Immorality itself not need be respected though. ( I know that you know that). :)
