Obesity

[James]

Fat does cause brain damage actually . . or at least lifestyles that lead to fat. Also there is the whole insulin issue and how it effects the body.

As far as what you are saying: If the person is whining to you about getting a date or health issues with the whole, "why is this happening to me" attitude, it seems correct to mention the obesity issue.

Allowing someone to be in denial about it doesn't seem very helpful.

Besides, being overweight isn't cancer or a deformity or something else that can't be changed, in fact its one of the few things that are pretty much under a person's control.

Fat does not cause brain damage. Give overweight people some credit!
