It depends- some people don't eat the right foods and only eat junk food, some overeat, some have a slow metabolism, and some have medical conditions and this is causing them to be overweight. I would not call her dumb though, as it may not be her fault and may be something medical that she can't help. Many people are closeminded and think people are only overweight because they eat too much- that isn't the case at all.

That's a really degrading question, and your view on fatness is sometimes what makes people overweight. If a person is a little on the plump side, they'll start feeling worse and worse about their body. Stress adds to a person's weight, as does lonely hours in front of the TV eating junk food to make yourself feel better.
But did you ever think that maybe your cousin is fat because it's hereditary? Some people can't control their weight...their metabolism is slow, or they're just naturally on the larger scale of things. So you could have that fat gene, too. And the reason why your cousin is a so-called dummy could be because of her low self esteem.
The best way to not be fat is to feel good about yourself and not be afraid to do something just because of your weight. So be nice to your cousin, seriously! And grow up. People like you just make the obesity problem worse.

availability/popularity of fast food and other garbage, dont eat the right stuff, eat too much, there is an attitude of acceptance/not carrying about being fat, and lack of excercise. then some people are just naturally prone to be fat from medical conditions or genetics but theyre a minority
some people even blame air conditioning on the fat-problem. your body burns more calories shivering when its a little chilley or trying to keep cool. but now people are in a constant comfortable temperature

There are people who are so fat that is because of different factors related to unbalanced diet,faulty eating habits,less amount of physical activity,metabolic or any health disorders.Any of the mentioned factor can cause alteration in the process of body metabolism which then results to excessive amount of fuel supply,more than the demand of the body therefore the spare will be stored and stored and this is what make people fat.

Fast food. I'll bet your cousin lives on it. Sodas, that's all she drinks... right?! So, get off the fast food, eat fruits and vegetables, drink water, and walk around instead of having your brother or mother drive you two blocks to the McFatties (I mean your cousin, you know what I mean). People sit on computers all day, watch re-runs of Simpson's and think that's how they should live. Go to the park, get sweaty, do SOMETHING! Have a nice day....

There are different reasons..some overeat..some have medical problems..some use eating as an emotional feel better.. so you shouldn't condemn everyone for being overweight....unless you know why...anyway do you really think they want to be reminded of it?? losing weight is not an easy battle for some people...anyway you shouldn't judge them cuz of their weight..

Fat and dumb are not exclusive. People are fat because of cheeseburgers. People are usually dumb because of genetics...at least you and your cousin have that in common.
