Sure, being generally unhealthy can have a significant effect, but that doesn't mean it's the main culprit. It's great that you have the motivation to do these things, but not everyone does, no matter what the cause of depression is, and even if the resulting lack of physical activity compounds the negative effects.
Anyway, it seems that we agree that it's not only caused by individuals actively choosing to be unhealthy.
(I'm assuming you're being hyperbolic with that last sentence)
Usually? If there's any evidence of that, please link it. Largely caused by capitalism, sure; aggravated by a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, sure; but I highly doubt that a lack of physical activity is the main culprit.
It's not always that simple. For example, someone with severe depression might find it extremely difficult to do these kinds of things, no matter how much free time they have. Even if you're OK mentally, there are plenty of reasons for why people don't exercise, like having to consistently work long hours and being extremely tired at the end of the day. I don't see why it should matter to other people (aside from doctors, I suppose) whether someone is slightly obese.
I think we might be talking about different kinds of people. I don't have much sympathy for the people who knowingly buy food like the extreme greasy burgers you mentioned, but I do sympathize with mildly obese people who frequently eat cheap, unhealthy food if they can't easily afford anything else, and I certainly sympathize with people who don't have the time or motivation to exercise consistently.
As long as one considers why they have these eating habits in the first place. I certainly think it should be discouraged and people should be educated, but most extremely obese people likely have some severe mental illness and they deserve treatment.
Yeah, that makes sense
It means just that -- the np.reddit.com link shows "1 year ago", as opposed to reddit.com's "2 years ago". As you said, apparently this is because it's based on old.reddit.com.
Sure; I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to stay healthy, only that we probably shouldn't harshly judge someone just for having an unhealthy diet or lacking motivation to exercise consistently, particularly in a capitalist society
