Obesity and being overweight are issues that many people have been struggling with for years. Many people think it is a result of bad eating habits, but what they do not know is that at times it’s a result of different health conditions. A person’s weight also gravely depends on their metabolism. One might gain weight after having an apple another might not even after eating a cheesy pizza. No one wants to be overweight, but sometimes it is out of their control. More often than not, people struggling with such issues often face discrimination in society because of their weight. A fitness influencer named Dalton Musselwhite has recently shed light on this issue.

The topic came up after Musselwhite saw an unsettling video on the famous content-creating platform, TikTok. Post that, the influencer took to his social media handle to voice his opinion on the matter.
