What is your opinion on the cons of obesity?

What is your opinion on the cons of obesity?For a school project...What is your opinion of people who are obese (Not overweight, obese, with a body mass index score of 30 or above). And if you are obese, do the health risks worry you? Your overall feelings on being obese?
*note: I am not against obesity or anything like that. This is just the topic I got stuck with at school.

I think that obesity is within ones control. You have to eat ALOT of calories to maintain that kind of weight. Those people have some thing else wrong and are self medicating with food.

Are there Pros to being obese?

My opinion is that obesity is a choice that people make at some point and forget that there's a choice to be a healthy weight as well. I also believe that people who are obese lack will power and/or have psychological problems because they are knowingly and controlably killing themselves on a daily basis. It takes work to be that big. If obese people ate only healthy food in whatever quantity they wanted, the worst they would be is overweight, not obese.

There are many reasons for a person to become obese. Health problems, like Thyroid or Diabetes. Or a disease that prohibits you from being able to dispel calories, or to exercise.
But, there are also ways to help control these things with a doctors help if the person chooses. medications and diet are a couple choices.
If the person decides not to accept a plan that helps them, then they are setting themselves up for many health problems. Heart disease being front and center. Muscular problems, lung and other vital organ problems. Not being able to get the exercise needed to burn extra calories. There are also mental problems like depression that come along with it.
My personal opinion....you can choose to control it and live..or ignore it and lose your life and the people in it.........its a choice.
