Comment on Ask HN: Why aren't you solving real problems?parent

Your appetite isn't the problem.

1. We have people who live in the same culture as obese people and do not get obese.

2. We have people who have stress free occupations and can afford the healthiest food in the world and are obese despite of it.

3. It's also true that a couple of centuries ago we didn't have obesity.

Based on these observations, it's obvious that looking only at the culture is not enough. You need to look at biological differences between humans to understand why some of them respond to culture in specific ways. People don't have the same appetite, people with higher appetite are more susceptible to becoming obese.
