I think one thing we can be 100% certain about. The laws of thermodynamics haven't changed to cause people to get fat.

I don't need to explain it as it's so obvious. You know the answer, I know the answer and I guess almost everyone knows it. If it concerns you then either do something about it (other than talking about abstract hypothesis) or accept it as a symptom of people's diet.

It is simply not possible for that reply, with the quotes from my statement, to have come from anybody who isn't either completely on the wind up, or genuinely unable to understand English.
Either way, I'm out! ? I'm off to do the lotus position and contemplate the randomness of particles in hippos! ??

Certainly not entropy related either! Inertia might be involve though - failure to get off arses and exercise, even simply by meandering around a golf course!

Just the man I've been waiting for to explain what inertia is.
Can't wait to hear it because it has puzzled scientists for centuries.
Just as I expected, like the people who represent us in government, you don't want to talk about the fat crisis.
Okay, so like them let's brush it under the carpet.
In response to the people who say "But I like food!", don't you want to be healthier, happier, and on the whole live longer?
It's still your life and your choices, but remember there is always a price to be paid.

Wouldn't it be better if they'd suck the fat right out of you..??

My theory is that people are overweight now due to technology. I grew up in the 70's and 80's in a one parent household, living with my brother and my dad. There was a chip pan in the house, full of oil, for homemade deep fried chips. The freezer contained Findus crispy pancakes, waffles, pies etc. On Friday nights we'd go to see my mum and get takeaway fish and chips. The biggest difference between then and now is how much technology has progressed. Back then a Spectrum 48k computer with rubber keys was as advanced as it got. Kids were outside playing not sat indoors on I Phones, PS4's or XBox's. There's no secret to not being overweight. You can eat as many calories as you like. As long as you are active enough to burn off 1 more calorie than you take in then you won't put on weight.

If you smoke to much, you know the possibilities of later life problems including death.
If you drink to much, you know the possibilities of later life problems including death.
If you eat to much, you know the possibilities of later life problems including death.
If you do not understand this when you are an adult, being fat, drunk, of stinking of an ashtray is the least of your problems.
We on this forum are adults, we know what we are doing.We all know the risks. Some of us do occasionally do Sin.
However I am firmly of the ilk that “ all things in moderation“. except in my case double bogeys.

Go along with that.
To expand on this, here is a question.
Why do we have legs?
Firstly, let's dispel the evolutionary idea that humans evolved to walk, then walked to evolve further.
That might have been the case up to the invention of the wheel.
Then humans found that legs became progressively more redundant when it came to finding food.
Why should you walk to the shops when you have a car?
Then humans employed professional dog walkers.
Now they get meals delivered straight to their front door.
Secondly, let's dispel the notion that walking helps keep the heart healthy.
Legs have even been described as the 2nd heart because walking helps the heart with the circulation.
Yet the body contains vestigial organs such as a tailbone and it's only a matter of time before the legs shrink too with new technology to help the heart.

Misuse of the word ilk.

"Of that ilk" means "of the place bearing a similar name."

More twaddle! That's one (and perhaps the original) description/translation of 'ilk'. And can also refer to family/clan. Now (also) generalised/evolved to 'type'!
