Did I miss something in the article? Some underlying unifying thesis? I'm looking at it again, and its not saying much specific.

Framing it as a personal failure not only ignores decades of evidence – it actively harms the very people who need support.

I thought I was agreeing with this.

pushing your preexisting agenda.

Yeah, when I know the solution to obesity and addiction, and I see people suffering from those exact things, I'm going to my best to ensure people are informed of their options and the underlying mechanisms. My life would have been very different if I had know this at a younger age.
