many people are not willing to trade cake now

Honestly, I think it's not about willingness. There are so many people who try and try and try but relapse over and over again. There's a reason why diets are so popular (even if they don't work long-term). It has become an entire market. Losing weight is not easy, because at the end of it all it is an addiction for most. It has nothing to do with willpower and whatnot. If that was the case, fat people would never achieve anything in life. And yet there are, for example, fat doctors. Studying medicine is hard as fuck and needs a lot of willpower. So what's stopping them if not an addiction? Especially as doctors they know the havoc being obese wreaks. Being obese is not fun at all. If all that was needed was willpower, we wouldn't have a pandemic on our hands.

I’m not really trying to make a point. I’m just saying things how I see them.

I know. And I'm challenging your opinion because I truly believe losing weight is simple, but simply not easy.
