OK. This kind of blows my mind.
Exercise likely doesn't burn more calories than a sedentary life. Which means that diet is the primary way to control one's weight.
But.... we know that diets rarely work for long term weight loss. So how does a person who wants to stay slim do so?
It does tend to add even more evidence to point away from shaming fat people. It would be very much like shaming people for being bald.

@dx how so?

@kingrat The solution is probably more regulation on foodstuffs.

@dgodon how will general health bring down weight? more walking is not really weight control. the causation might be the other way around. it's easier for lighter people to walk, so they walk more, rather than walking more makes people more able to weigh less.

@kingrat I suspect the only real way to “control” weight are systemic, like via walkable communities and people being well supported generally. This is really more about supporting general health but it will tend to bring weight down on average.
