Many different factors are causes for obesity.
Thyroid problems for one.
Genetics
Diabetes
Over Eating
Under Excising
Usually it's a combination of several factors.

I saw on television about obesity.
Obesity was WAY different back in the 1960's.
In the 1960's, everyone was fit, you could never find anyone fat stomping around. The word "fat" was probably not even a word yet! (just kidding)
But now, 2007, a high percentage of Americans are obese.
Scientists show that the amount of exercise from 1960 to 1007 decreased significantly. Between 1960 and 2007, I'd say that Americans were introduced to more foods, like Mountain Dew and Arby sandwiches.

laziness - nothing to do but to eat all the day long. No interests or hobbies, life spent in front of TV.

I think that it is eating too much, sitting before the tv/video game too much and genetics...

putting too many calories into mouth & then having the nerve to swallow.
constipation could also be a factor :)
