It really isn't that simple. I teach human health courses and it is SO much more complicated than this.
Calories in, calories out isn't accurate for a lot of people.
Type 2 Diabetes is way more complicated than it was originally thought (fat = unhealthy = T2D) and we are still learning more every day.
Fat is a necessary nutrient and component of literally every cell in your body.
Endocrine disruptions are a cause of a significant portion of obesity cases, which is becoming more apparent as they are more well studied (especially in women who are significantly underrepresented in clinical and preclinical studies). Obesity is likely a symptom of another issue all together.
Genetics plays a larger role in obesity than originally thought.
Using simplistic language like “fat, not good” perpetuates the idea that bigger bodies are bad. This contributes to body dysmorphia, depression, and su1cide, which are already sky high in college students.
Do you think maybe you could consider some of these things and some of the other comments and downmarseys you are getting to reframe your view on this topic? Also consider that blanket statements on an anonymous forum on a clickbait post isn't the way to have a conversation based on science and data (as you and OP keep trying to say you are doing).

Just because CICO works for 99.9% of all people doesn't mean it would be effective for the 70% of fat people in the country!
