Who are you referring to with these wide-sweeping, derogatory stereotypes, who are "they"? I genuinely find it shocking that you find it appropriate to group together the millions of people who struggle with obesity for various and legitimate reasons as "they".
Maybe also think about your privilege as an "engineer" with a wife who is a doctor before offering these unneeded criticisms on "lower educated parents".
It's narratives like those in this post which alienate people who are already struggling, and paint obesity as a moral failing. You are the one with a moral failing right now.
So I guess I'm yelling too..
WE DO NOT NEED TO DEMONIZE AND DEHUMANIZE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND, EDUCATION OR HEALTH.
