How many other factors except for the

very rare endocrine disorder(s) cause obesity?
I do not have a callous understanding of this issue bushbaby....
I did not say people jumped down my throat, I said some became quite annoyed....If input does not equal output of energy????

Joan, I am hardly a medical expert, but surely there are more medical reasons why a person may be overweight? Polycystic Ovary Syndrome being one, and surely thyroid problems (i.e underactive) can also be attributing medical factors?

I fully understand and agree that the majority of overweight people (myslef included) just eat unbalanced meals, and do not get enough exercise. But there are some who have hormonal issues, and it is not from "stuffing their faces".

Please do not put everyone in the same class.
