That "Science" itself is fat apologist bullshit. This kind of Science is a joke, a way to legitimize the removal of personal responsibility and agency. It's activism, not Science, the same way addiction has become a mental illness or criminality an economic outcome under the guise of fake Science. The moral justification for wanting someone to "do it themselves" and have to pay for their choices is that it creates wiser, stronger people and wiser people make better societies (though it is also it's own good). What you are proposing is a society of meat bags with no agency who get bailed out of their poor choices. That makes for an obese soul.
Why do you think science has any obligation to track with your own personal morals, is concerned with agency, or has anything at all to do with "souls?" Science is about understanding the how and why of things, on a factual basis. It has no responsibility to align to your worldview.
I also notice you continue to refuse to engage on the very applicable analogy of carcinogens, cancer, and receiving treatment. I can only imagine it's because you know you would seek treatment if your life depended on it, despite the need for it being influenced by your actions.
Regardless, I hope you never need to be in a situation where you have to choose between compromising the morals you're espousing now and getting treatment, and if you ever are, I hope you realize how foolish these ideals are, and that you get the treatment you need.
I didn't say that it does have an obligation to do any of that. If anything it's the opposite, I think Science should abstain from turning moral issues into materialistic "facts" which is what they are attempting to do by turning everything that used to be a character or moral issue into a biological or physiological issue so that now every criminal, misfit and glutton is actually a victim of mental illness or addiction (and addiction is a physical, biological phenomenon) where conveniently all agency and personal responsibility is removed and no one can be blamed or impugned for anything and no one is ever at fault. I don't know what is even supposed to be left of a person when bad choices are not even choices anymore, as if only good choices are real choices and we can go around patting ourselves on the back forever. It's just so pathetic and absurd. If you need to tell yourself that being fat, dumb or lazy is not your fault, go ahead, I'm sure they'll discover a biological basis for laziness soon enough and we can all call ourselves differently motivated or whatever stupid euphemism they'll come up with and breathe a sigh of relief. At the end of the day you're just lying to yourself.
