I didn’t say being fat “is a binary choice”, and I never mentioned anything about fad diets.

I get the impression that I’ve struck a nerve, and you just want to lash out. Sorry if I upset you, but this is unproductive. Your comments aren’t addressing anything I’m saying, you’re just throwing stuff out to vent.

I have loved ones who are obese. If you’re struggling with your weight, fwiw, I don’t believe you’re worth less because of it. But please don’t spread misinformation, and instead take the time to learn more about the topic. If not for your own sake, for the sake of others who might be lured away from the path to recovery by misinfo you may unintentionally spread.
