1. Does society have skewed view of obese people, why or why not?

2. Could obesity be a symptom of a much larger problem (e.g. biological, environment, social, etc.) and what do you think that problem could be right now?

Solution

1). Yes, the society have skewed view of obese people because most think that the obesity is the primary cause of insulin resistance and type -II diabetes. In fact, eating foods that readily produce glucose such as refined starches are the primary cause of developing insulin resistance. This is the reason why lean people also develop insulin resistance, but not only the obese ones.
