I agree, obesity can have other causes and I certainly do not want to
scold anyone with that condition. But the reality is that the vast
majority is habit-caused. Every obese person I know out here has a habit
of eating large quantities of not-so-healthy food at an astounding speed
or run around with 64oz "big gulp" coke bekers. Nah, not the diet coke,
of course, but the real stuff. They drive everywhere, never take a walk
and hang in front of the TV most of the time (eating). That's the habits
that make most of us sick.

Is it just me, or is the a fairly recent phenomenon? It seems most of this
has happened in the last 5 years or so. I'm seeing young teenagers now that
are carrying more weight than I thought possible. If you consider a normal
weight to be a kayak, some of the girls are up in the battleship or
aircraft carrier category.

Sadly, a lot of them have children. No education, no job, no prospects, no
brains, and kids to feed.
