> Are health issues unrelated to obesity the primary cause of obesity in under 18s?
Idk, I can only speak about people in my environment.
Where I can only remember one case which might have been because of overeating and I say might because I simple don't know.
Multiple of the obese people I did know had a more controlled and some times far more healthy diet then most people I know.
Many cases I know did slowly but continuously got bigger, i.e. something which can totally happen without overeating.
I also had meet people the other way around, like needing to consume ~6000+ kcal a day when they don't
do sports or they are at risk of becoming severely underweight...
> called anyone out as lazy.
The main reason I mentioned sport is because I know of a case where the person had a controlled diet and did more sport then most other people in class and still looked quite square, from what I learned this person slowly over multiple years got more and more weight without being able to lose any of it.
> . The majority of obesity is overeating (a single Starbucks muffin is a 10k run).
I'm not sure if it's the majority. It's definitely a thing, and very often a thing for extreme cases. It also might very well play a big role in countries with unusual many and many unusual extreme cases of obesity. But many of the cases I know did slowly accumulate weight over years without being able to lose weight starting from a very very young age on.
