It affects so many things . And there are ways to help deal with it but right wingers are resistant to anything that would actually do good .

I'm sure obesity is one of the biggest reasons we have high Covid Death numbers compared to some other countries . Also probably why many of the Asian countries have low numbers.

And this is about Covid but I think Obesity makes almost every other health issues end up being worse than it would for people of more healthier weight.
