It's almost certain that she knew more about his circumstances than he did hers.

Is she supposed to not mention his weight just because she is fat? If it is a significant factor, wouldn’t it be negligent not to?

The same brother is also a smoker, and I always bring back duty free ciggies for him. Did the same for my dad when he was around. Some would say this is a foolish thing to do, putting nails in his coffin or some such. I had no qualms, he would have bought them at the pub in any case. I'm a great believer in live and let live 
Can't argue with that - !Coffee and cake, the highlight of our cycle rides
But then we usually work the calories off on the rest of the ride as oppose to just walking back to the car park - !

Yes, I tell myself that too
Emphysema was one of the things that did for my older brother. My sister, of a similar 'everyone smoked' age didn't hint the warning and carried on. She now has terminal emphysema and only herself to blame, but a point she understands.

Pizza is best whilst still hot. So if take away and eaten as soon as outside that’s fine. Take it home and not so good. I occasionally have a piping hot pizza before an overnight section of an audax. It does the business till dawn.
It's also great if left to go cold. Leftover pizza

Using apricot as an alternate pizza base is also great

It’s heartening to see after this subject has been debated ad-nauseam over the years, that we seem to be more aligned wit the view that it’s a highly complex and multifactorial problem much of which is mental-health related and socio-economic based rather than outdated and unpleasant tropes. Progress indeed!
We live in a world where we know more about health and nutrition than ever before. Food is also more abundant and safer than ever before. We know more about what’s in our food. Most people know the difference between health and unhealthy food and diet choices, so why don’t people make better food decisions? A major frustration from clinical dieticians is when treating patients who are obese that they find they know what they should be doing in terms of lifestyle changes to save themselves but seem unable or incapable of making those changes in any meaningful way. And it’s not as if there are any single causes, there are multitudes. Therefore solutions need to be in multitudes to match. There is no one solution, we must employ a range of measures if we are to have any impact on the Obesity Epidemic.
Too tired to go into more details right now, suffice to say, turning the tide will take a lot of effort in many sectors of society. There have been some excellent posts here....

We seem to be living in an age of 'catch phrases' "Hands , Face, Space " etc so here is another that is simplicity itself but will solve the obesity crisis. ' Eat less, move more '

It's the 'modern' way (imo) we like to overcomplicate things ? that justifies a multitude of different 'experts' in all walks of life.

Yeah, I mean genetics is only four letters*, it's really not all that complicated.
