In almost every episode, there’s the super obese person that can’t do a thing for themselves. They couldn’t possibly get to and maintain that kind of weight on their own.
There is always an enabler. A spouse, partner, caregiver, whatever, that is feeding them and keeping them in that condition.
Sometimes the enabler doesn’t even realize they are doing it. Actually, a lot of the time.
I don’t see sarcasm in your parents answer. I see them realizing that having a middle-class lifestyle is unknowingly enabling the billionaires. They exist, in part, because we allow them to.
The enabler is not keeping them in that condition. The 600-pounder is keeping themselves in that condition through the choices that they make every day. Should that enabler leave… another will take their place. Because many people feel gratification from caring for others, and feeding those we love is a fundamental part of being human, it’s as natural as feeding ourselves.
You can find many 400 pounders and up on social media, still caring for themselves without an enabler. Perhaps they’ll get to 600 pounds some day… but to blame an enabler, the person who cares for them, is madness. The blame lies with the person consuming 10,000 calories a day, you can’t get to 600 pounds by making a few bad choices. It’s YEARS of daily bad choices, and they made those decisions. Only they are keeping themselves in that condition.
All of our entire lifestyles and culture support and fund them.
We are the problem and nothing is going to change until people can admit it.
Forget the /s at all?
You ever watch “My 600lb Life”?

That is one way to stop enabling them.
