Are you sticking to your position that being fat means you have no discipline? Are you going to continue to be a bigot?

You have obviously been paying less attention to what he said than I have. Reminder of what he actually said:
“For the vast majority of people who are overweight it is because they eat too much. What "too much" is varies from person to person since people's metabolism and digestive systems differ. For some people it will be easier than for others to maintain a healthy weight, but in nearly all cases it's a matter of discipline and/or sufficient exercise (
mainly the former). “
the operative words in the above are “
mainly the former” so, no, he clearly doesn't “seem” (as you said ) to just simplistically blame it on “being lazy” but rather mainly blames it on overeating, just like I do.
Are you sticking to your position that being fat means you have no discipline?
straw man: “luck of discipline” is not “no discipline”. If a fat person really wants to loose weight, with enough discipline he can. Without enough discipline, he won't. Therefore luck of discipline is why some people who are fat stay fat. Exactly where is the error in that argument? please point out EXACTLY where and how it is erroneous ...
