i will preface this by saying that I am ONLY talking about those who are overweight, but by changing diet/activity could lose weight.
I am NOT talking about those with medical issues, or on meds that mess with your metabolism.
Now, back to the question:
Is being overweight a sin?
Is it a form of gluttony? Or lack of self control? Can it be considered being a bad steward of your own body?
Should obesity be portrayed as an acceptable lifestyle choice?
Sizes everywhere are getting larger and larger to accommodate for the ever-growing population of obese people - should society be trying to make being obese easy?
Take for example another dangerous lifestyle choice: Smoking - society has made it as difficult as possible for smokers, both in cost and where they can smoke..should the same be done concerning weight?
TONS we can discuss - please keep it nice people.
Peace,
