a large % people need to cut how much they eat literally in half

They get addicted to alcohol, food, sex, whatever because they are going through DEPRESSION.

That is the real problem.

First smart thing you have said, so we can agree that obesity it self is NOT a disease? Depression is real and is a disease, no arguments there. However, there is also a large portion that continues to look for "disease" when in fact people just aren't mentally tough enough to make positive changes in their lives because it IS hard to do. Depression is the cause of many problems with weight but still only factors in a small percentage of those who are overweight.
