Fat people are fat because our nation has become to in touch with our inner emotions to allow gym teachers to develop realistic exercise programs for out at risk youth. Tell the fat kid to run the laps same as everone else, and screw the note from his mom's shrink.
And as far as the truly huge people, who need to have a wall knocked down for the crane to lift them out of their own filth, the people shoveling buckets full of food need to stop enabling them. When mom can't make it to the fridge by herself, it's a sign.

The no B.S. answer: because they take in more calories in what they eat than they expend in their daily activities, and the body stores that excess energy as fat. That's why most people are fat.
It's really a simple physiological equation: the more you eat, the more active you must be to burn off the extra calories you don't use through metabolism. If you don't increase the activity in response to increasing caloric intake, the result is fat storage. Conversely, if you want to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in. Then your body will use the fat stores as a source of energy and you will lose weight (if you do it properly).
However....there are some physical problems that can make people fat without regards to their caloric intake and output. (For instance, hypothyroidism and some genetic syndromes.) Your body type is also at least partly influenced by genetics. Not all of us were meant to be skinny, and not all of us are fat.

Since the typical American is about 10 lbs heavier than they were in the 1970's, I'd say it's from daily "conveniences" and computers.
There's something about the 'modern life' that our bodies are not designed for. We 'need' more activity, better sleep patterns, and definitely less screen time, whether it's TV or the computer.
