John,
You make some valid points and I feel a little harsh now for condemning all overweight people so swiftly.
Let me just say this: I've got a fair working knowledge of addictions and, to be clear, I mean addictions in the broadest possible sense. Obesity is just another "hook up" in the same way as drug or alcohol addiction and for that reason I understand the importance you place on feeling better about yourself. The key point though surely is that you recognise that cart golf
is not in itself helping you. The problem occurs, as has already been said, when cart golf is sold as being an active pursuit, kind of like saying to an alcoholic that weak beer is the answer.
So I wish you ever bit of success whilst still maintaining a somewhat harsh stance with regard to the pathologically lazy. Then again, maybe I should blame societal influences rather than the individuals in question, thus bringing me nicely back to my usual centre-left position.
Again, best of luck.
