  1. People talk about the physical aspects of obesity, but obesity is far worse than just that. Obesity causes relationship harm which leads to social damage. People are less empathetic towards that they are repelled by. They are less kind towards them and more indifferent towards them. This allows for criminal and violent activity to flourish as people are not interested in the welfare of their fellow community members. This also creates demand for human trafficking. These social alterations create some of the most dangerous side effects of the obesity epidemic.

  2.  @jacobmaez277  That may be the case in a sense of social duty and obligation, but I am talking more about subconscious behavior. Most people are not self aware enough to be reasonably expected to be able to do that. It's an unrealistic expectation.
