Hamburger brings up a good point. Is it possible that this virus could animate dead tissue along with multiplying fat cells? It's a valid concern, imho.

That's good, but you may have mischaracterized your lifestyle before.

I wouldn't call it a belief that people need to work hard to maintain proper health, I'd call it an understanding. It's not dogmatic gospel, it's based on a lot of science and a lot of experience. There may very well be a virus that multiplies fat cells, but let's just be honest: some overweight people will use that as an excuse. It's enabling to provide people with excuses.
