#2What’s the causal direction here? Do teens get obese in part because their impulse control centers malfunction? Or does being obese for years cause those parts of the brain to stop working correctly?

Richard P. Bentall makes convincing argument that happiness is a psychiatric disorder.† Notably Caesar was said to prefer the company of fat men, with the implied causation that happy -> fat. One also sees this in the weight gain usually caused by SSRIs. At the same time obesity has well measured effects on many metabolic processes, so it is likely there is some effect on the brain.

#5This is purely anecdotal.
I have found that obese clients have a much harder time grasping the theoretical foundation for diving than fit fit clients. I am not talking about the fitness tests, but understanding the underlying physical principles of the sport.
This has become enough of an issue that I ask about level of fitness prior to scheduling courses due to need to budget additional time for unfit clients in the classroom.
I cannot attribute this to grey matter, it is just my experience that overweight people take significantly longer to teach basic theory before even getting into the water.

do not forget that from 1980 to 2019 we went from using pure sugar to using fructose as the sugar added in food products..fructose way higher in insulin resistance etc

I was going to joke about happy stoned people, but:
Recreational marijuana use impacts white matter integrity and subcortical (but not cortical) morphometry

As far as I know, that particular theory of obesity is contradicted directly by studies conducted in metabolic wards such as https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(15)... and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4962163/

I would imagine that in the time of Rome, fat people were likely wealthy people. Today fat people are more commonly poor.
