They consume more calories in a day than they expend, and do this over the course of a long period of time.

Eating...overeating. Lack of exercise. Genetics. Poor diet.
Basically food is heat energy that is there to fuel activity. If the activity level does not burn up the energy consumed, there is a surplus and the body stores it as fat. Input is greater than output. Some people have "fat" genes and really can't help it, but overall there is a major problem with excessive eating, poor nutrition and inactivity plaguing the USA these days.

People become fat from putting in more fat and calories then we put out. We have to get off our butts and burn off the crap we are eating. People in the old days had to physially work for everything they needed to survive. You could not hop in the car, drive to the store and buy your groceries. You had to grow your veggies and raise your livestock. Nobody sat in front of computers or t.v.s and if you were not working for your own needs you were helping your neighbor. It's too easy now to just drive through a fast food line and get your dinner, then go home and eat it in front of your favorite t.v. show.

They pledge allegiance to a flag.
They then cram a full box of oreos in their mouth, sit on a couch for hours a day, and get exhausted when they have to go to the fridge to get another soda/beer.
They then complain that life's not fair and wonder why they are 250 lbs and only 5'4.
Short answer: they are idiots as they don't understand simple math.
X = Calories gained from eating/drinking
Y = Calories burned from exercise
1000000000X + 0Y = Fat... most americans don't seem to understand this.

some people cant help being fat...it depends on your body type...seeing as your asking this question youre probably one of those lucky people who can eat almost whatever you want whenever you want and it doesnt matter because your metabolism is working hard a lot of the time.
For lots of people theyre metabolism doesnt work as hard as that and so get fatter quicker and easier. Its not theyre fault a lot of the time...there are some people who just wont stop eating though.

There are lots of things that can make people gain weight. Depression, lack of exercise, genetic diseases, over eating, and many others. We should always remember that people don't always get fat due to their own fault.

mostly eating but some people gain weight from certain medications like cortisone and in that case it's not even fat, it's water but makes them look fat.
