You are ignorant of the genetic factors at play here and I think you need to realize that your rhetoric is identical to victim blaming eugenics ideology. You sound like RFK Jr. and I'm guessing you would want me dead if you could have things that way. It's honestly despicable and I don't know how people like you sleep at night.
Buddy, you're over stating the importance of genetics. Time and time again it shows that getting bigger is more nurture than nature. Papers and research retounely come out saying its a two-sides of the same coin issue, but then fail to support their nature/genetics claims, which are often refuted. Slender families get children who end up obese because of lifestyle, and their children become obese. That's not genetics. The grandchildren end up obese because obese parents place their lifestyle and diets onto their children.
Claiming something is victim blaming is insanely disrespectful to the people who actually get blamed for things out of their control. Your weight is in your control for the vast, VAST majority of people.
People with disabilities who can't get an opportunity to do something about it? Sure. Can that disability come from genetics, sure. But that's a small minority of people who are overweight.

Read the sources here and you see that monogenetic, epigenetic and polygenetic obesity is only partly of influence on actually becoming obese, and that with a proper healthy environment (which not everyone has access too, I understand) obesity doesn't need to develop.

Meanwhile, where are the sources supporting the initial statement?
