It seems like enabling to remove personal responsibility from the equation. I've been to a few NA meetings and they do the same thing, claiming that at least in some way you're not responsible for your actions. It's stupid.
If you want to stop being fat, you have to do it. You have to change your diet to something more healthy and you have to exercise. Your genes aren't going to stop you from picking up a cucumber instead of a Snickers when your at Safeway. A virus isn't going to stop you from doing some push-ups or walking around the block. A virus certainly isn't making you sit in front of the teevee for 4 hours a night.
