Eh, obesity was labeled a disease by the WHO nearly a century ago (1948). And just to be clear, obesity does not mean being fat. Obesity is defined as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to heath." You can be overweight and live a perfectly healthy life, but saying that putting on so much weight that it takes decades off your life and greatly reduces your standard of living is a choice is pretty ignorant. This may be a bit extreme, but I would equate it with saying that self-harm is a choice, completely ignoring all the underlying conditons that cause such behaviours.
Honestly, I find the psychology and biology behind obesity fasinating. If you're interested in the science of weight gain and obesity, look up some of the recent studies done on it. I think they're realay neat.
Oh, but claiming that obesity is a choice and that it's a symptom of weak willpower is an old stigma that prevents lots of people from seeking help. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't push such old ideas.
You are completly right. It's not capitalism's fault that companies would rather destroy essentials to save a few bucks rather than give it to those who need them. No, obviously the poor people just need to stop being poor. That'll solve global hunger without cutting into the profits of those poor CEOs.
The thing about the anime is that it's very, very, very slow. If you cut out all the useless scenes, filler episodes, reaction shots, etc, they would probably only have to adapt around 300-400 episodes, which, while still a lot, is much more feasable.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen someone use the old definition of lame unless they were being intentionally antiquated, and even then, never in a way to put someone down.
