Because people shove big macs and whoppers down their throats at the crappy fast food places and then, instead of actually doing something, they sit down and watch mindless crap like Dr. Phil and Oprah on TV.
I'm not saying you shouldnt watch TV. I watch a lot of sports on TV and play a lot of video games, but I actually get my *** off the couch and go for a walk and play sports and stay a little active.
Instead of fat people complaining about being fat, they should get off the damn couch and go jogging instead of stuffing hoho's and ding dongs down their throat.

Many are fat due to the lack of a healthy diet and lack of exercise. Too much t.v. I do believe the trend is changing and people are trying to change but the changes do not come quickly. Many people are fat these days but internally healthier. Some are fat and fit. This is not a myth. I knew a kid in school that was really fat and could outdo any skinny kid in sports which included diving. He excelled in all sports and did not let his being fat slow him down nor do I think he was unhealthy. This person may have been an exception to the rule but I do know people who have normal blood test results which turns out better than the average thin person. What goes on inside the body is different than what it appears. You can be thin and unhealthy and fat and fit. We have to exercise and diet properly, not abuse drugs and alcohol, relieve stress, keep a positive attitude, don't smoke, etc. to remain healthy no matter how we appear on the outside. Being thin is not a guarantee of good health. Exercise and proper diet will definitely work wonders for all.

You should have use the term obese. The food that people eat is very unhealthy, mostly processed. That's not the way God created it. The high calories in food is NOT counteracted with exercise.
When we look back on our great grandparents or great-great grandparents, they didn't eat stuff out of the box. From the land. Also they are eating the same "stuff" we eat now, like pork, high cholesterol meat products but they worked it off in the fields. Today we eat that and go to sleep on it.

It is being found that obesity (fat) is occuring because computor and games like Playstation, et al. The increase in sedentary occupations is primarily to blame. Kids are backing out of gym class. Plus the food companies are not being totally honest when it comes to trans fat food and hidden ingreients in prepared food.
Eat wisely and get physical excersice

Have a listen to Focus on the Family. There were 2 doctors on there that answered that question in a beautiful fashion. Dr. Nick Yphantides and Dr. Meier That will give you a better picture of all that is going on and how to make it right.

There arr many reasons why some people are obese. Some have medical problems like diabetes, or other medical problems.
Some are big boned. Others just eat to much.

You're right. My thoughts...instant gratification makes it easy to eat (vending machines, fast food lanes, etc.) All social events surround food. Young people are heavily into electronics for entertainment, rather than riding a bike or playing baseball at the park.

People are just super lazy. And then they sit there and complain about how crappy they look or how bad they feel. I know, because I used to be like that until I decided to get off my lazy butt and do something. It's embarassing that the majority of people now are overweight or obese.

all people have the tendency to over eat naturally but with fast food resturants that have unhealthy foods easly available to us we just constantly eat without thinking .. its mostly an american thing.. if you go to other countrys.. they are full of skinny people because of what they eat and many americans dont have time to cook their own meals or work out
