Not true.  There aren't enough fasting days, and even on those days, people can gain weight, since by eating one big meal, and more carbs (less protein), they can actually change their metabolisms.  AND a lot of the food people can afford is poisoned garbage that wrecks the metabolism, creates insulin resistance, etc. (particularly the high fructose syrups).
I always find bulk (actual) healthy foods to be cheaper than processed goy slop. Frankly there is a big problem with people over consuming too much calories both in the world and in the Church. A woman's physical appeal is much greater when she is slim compared to being overweight, and in today's world I would say there is a significant percentage of people who are beyond morbid obesity.

I think environment, society, ease of access, lack of self-control is a major factor. I don't buy the genetics being a *major factor. I've studied this a lot myself, and I've worked with many nutritionists since I had UC ten years ago, which is now cleared up (Thank the Lord).

Genetic pre-disposition to certain *body frames/height is real... not obesity...

It has to do with the distorted concept of beauty which is actually ugliness that starts in the mind. Now it has gotten to the point where aside from even the lack of grace, on merely the natural level, the philosophical mindset leads to a corrupt apprehension of beauty that even if there is physical beauty, it matters little due to the lack of beauty in the soul as well as when a person is ugly due to obesity, that also can suggest a lack of beauty in the soul and as in many cases now today, a distorted and unrealistic concept of beauty. 

Years ago, Matthew asked me to test me if I knew if beauty is objective or subjective. I said, "objective", but I did not say it loud enough, and he thought I said "subjective." I told him I did say "objective" though. :laugh1:

Ladislaus also pointed out in another past thread that instead of focusing on the beauty of women, we should rather contemplate the beauty of God. For He is beauty itself and is more beautiful than any person ever could be.

That's true. You just reminded me Everlast22 of something else I thought of saying. It does depend on each person's unique body structure and genetics to determine in how they can be more beautiful in their appearance.

Yea, obesity is so looked over among Trad Catholics. Even just by the traditional calendar for fasting and abstinence alone should keep you at worst "overweight". Nothing wrong with being a little overweight these days, especially over 35, but obesity and traditional Catholicism do not correlate... Sorry.
When I see an obese priest, it's like an obese cop, you look at them and you're like " you're gonna help someone or tell me what do do'?

Apparently "lead by example"  has list it's meaning just as much in the church as in the secular world.
