If you're overeating by a significant amount, exercise alone isn't a practical solution. You have to address the eating problem, and the fact is that some people don't have the time and resources to do that. It might be possible for them to rearrange their lives to the point where it would become possible, but it's not your decision whether that's worth it for them.
I don't understand how you would need to re-arrange your life for a healthy diet. There are plenty of healthy meals you can make in-expensively and very quickly. I could make a salad for less than 50 cents in about 5 minutes. It's all about willpower. And I know it's not my decision, obviously, but it makes me angry someone would throw their life away like that and how it's not recognised as a serious health condition like drug addiction and alcoholism are.
You have to have the energy and motivation to do it, though, and you have to learn how to do it. I do think more people are capable of it than think they are, and I also think it's worth doing; however, I recognise that it's not my decision to make, and that it would be inappropriate to resent people for making choices in their lives that don't really affect me.
Also, where I live, obesity IS thought of as a serious health condition, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.
I don't hate the person themself,
I hate what they are doing, or rather what they are not doing. And obviously it's not my decision to make, just saying I'm mad that they choose not to. I'm not trying to force people to do anything or hate anyone. Just dislike their habits.
Maybe that's a reason we feel differently; it's not taken very seriously where I live.
Is it normal that I hate when people are obese and unhealthy?
