9th, I think you're missing the point.

Of course not 50% of the population has a predisposition to be overweight because of genetic issues.

I could be wrong, but I think the point is that if you throw everyone in together, how are you going to know who's fat because they're lazy or eat too much, and who has a genuine problem that's not easy to manage.

The issue really is that some people are prejudiced against people because they're too fat or too thin. It's wrong that people feel the need to judge others, particularly those they don't even know.
