    Let me ask you this, if it’s so easy for you to solve it and your solution is the absolute correct solution, then why is it still a problem?

      Remember, you’re saying obese people are obese because they eat too much.

      I’m saying obese people eat too much because they are nutritionally deficient.

      I think that you think that I’m saying that obese people are not obese because they eat too much. I agree with you that obese people are eating too much.

      However, my argument is the “why are they eating too much” argument. You have not touched on nor addressed any portion of my argument.

      You are stuck in the “calories in calories out is the entire equation and everything else is irrelevant” portion of the argument, which is the ABCs of human nutrition.

      I’m telling you that LMNOP is also part of the human nutrition alphabet and that it is an important portion of the conversation that is often overlooked.

      Can you debate me on the topics I am mentioning, or are you still stuck in the ABCs?

      The solution to obesity is simple, but not easy.

      My solution to obesity is correct(as you’ve stated, we can all agree on it); obesity is still a problem largely because of an overabundance of available food coupled with a lack of personal discipline, seasoned with capitalist production and marketing.

        I believe this will mark the end of this particular conversation, not because I won, and not because you won, but because we cannot debate on the same level.

        If you ever do learn about what I’m calling the LMNOPs of the human nutrition alphabet then definitely feel free to express your new thoughts to me anytime you want to.

          Since the article in question is discussing obesity and I named the root cause of obesity and then you immediately agreed that nobody can argue with that root cause(consuming more calories then you burn), we’ll say I “won” for the sake of accuracy.

          Following your concession , you propped up unrelated tangential anecdotes about nutrition that you quicotically argued against.

          It is not a matter of debate; you are bringing up and answering your own straw man arguments that I have not engaged with because they are your own questions and answers you have made up in your meandering monologue unrelated to the undisputed fact that obesity is caused by eating too much food.
