The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Okay?
Let's for the moment, accept and agree to the the OP's premise that being overweight is solely due to personal choices (or lifestyle if you prefer, but it's really a non-specific term).
So? If it is a choice, what's the problem? People choose to do things, good things, bad things, smart things, stupid things, things with consequence, things without consequence, all of the time.
Gaming is a (I hate to say it, but I am following the OP premise) a "lifestyle choice". It can have impact on the life of the person who chooses it, either positive or negative, but it is their choice.
So is fashion, so is who you date, so is your job, your car, your best friend, your... they're all choices. And they can result in something that the individual is willing to accept, not happy about, and then they have.... you guessed it, another choice to make. Whether or not to do something about their previous choice.
So, if being overweight is ALWAYS a "lifestyle choice"... yeah? So what?
I have no issue with people making their own personal choices in life. I'm just tired of people using excuses for their weight due to ignorance. People actually have begun to believe that obesity is some sort of a persistent medical condition or disability. They really believe it.
Be fat all you want, but own it! (generally speaking to all)
