What about this "virus" being a side effect of being fat?? I'm sure there are plenty of viruses out there that could cause all kinds of problems. Even if this were true though. How do you explain the people that gain wight, year after year with no drop in weight. I went through a time when my metabolism dropped, and I was ill or having surgery frequently. I ended up with a quite rapid weight gain. The key there is that I didn't CONTINUE to gain weight and I even lost some of it. No one should be able to use this as an excuse for being more so exteremly obese that they can't walk. Yeah right, they're sick.
This is a worse excuse than being genetically prone to being overweight. I'm genetically prone to being diabetic, overweight, alcoholic, having hypothyroidism and having arthritis. I only have a little arthritis in my hands and I'm only about 5 lbs overweight. I take care of my hands, I avoid refined sugar, I watch how much junk food I eat, and I avoid too much alcohol or even avoid drinking too often. People who are grossly obese have NO excuse for STAYING that way.
