    Strawman. I was saying no such thing, merely that for some it is harder than for others. Just like some would starve to dewth in a famine sooner than others at identical feed intake and rate of activity.

    This is no excuse for anything, just a fact. People can gave an influence on that, no matter the genes.

      Not understanding what you’re saying doesn’t mean I’m making a straw man argument lol

        You were claiming I was spreading “doomer mentality of “I can’t do anything to lose weight it’s my genetics””

        That is false, I did no such thing. I merely stated the fact that metabolisms and especially regulation differ and some have to climb a steeper hill than others to get to the same peak. Harder doesn’t mean impossible.

          You’re still just failing to understand what you’re saying while dancing in a circle pointing at it

            You are failing to make an argument at all. come back when you manage to formulate a concrete argument.

              Pulling the buzzword “straw man” straight out of year 10 debate club isn’t an argument either! And you made it first!

                Sorry, but how else to call it when you are distorting my comment into something I clearly did not say, just to easily refute it? That is the defintion of that term.

                Maybe don’t do that in the first place. You still haven not brought forward an actual argument besides this para discussion.

                  I’m with you - you stated a fact. That doesn’t imply an endorsement of anyone’s ideas. Just because some people use biological differences as excuses doesn’t mean biological differences don’t exist.

                  Sadly, it appears that parsing nuance and reading comprehension are common struggles these days.
