How sad this is...

"Obesity is a natural extension of an advancing economy. As you become a First World economy and you get all these labor-saving devices and low-cost, easily accessible foods, people are going to eat more and exercise less," health economist Eric Finkelstein told AFP.

I hate being fat myself...it's not exactly a choice, although I could do more to correct the problem I guess.

Not all of them did. There's plenty of medical reasons for it to happen over which they have no control.

Honestly, injury is the #1 reason why people put on weight...I know quite a few people that were reasonably fit and trim..one bad back injury or knee injury, bam, here comes the weight gain.
