Laziness has a large part to do with people not eating properly, also. It's much easier to pick up junk food than to put the effort in to shopping and meal preperation.

Sorry but you can't starve to death while over eating unless you have a huge tape worm

I dunno if anyone else said it, but..
This is why I take a really good multivitamin every day. To compensate for the lack of nutrition in the foods available to me.
So I end up just fine .. and I am quite thin for an American, im underweight. I'm 6'2'', but I only weigh 150lbs on my heaviest day. And some days I have a problem where I have trouble eating at all, so the vitamin becomes so important.

I personally hate when people victimize themselves and state that these things are being forced on us. They state that there's this huge conspiracy to starve us to deaths with overeating (not possible) but refuse to understand that nobody puts anything in your mouth for you. You pick up the food and eat it. You decide what to eat and how much. Excuses, excuses, excuses

First of all, it certainly is true that people's bodies can be starving even though they are eating plenty of food. Your body becomes starved of real nutrition and becomes obese from the chemicals that in the food.
Yes it's everyone's responsibility to select healthy foods but the food industry actually misleads the public about what's in their products. The label can say 'healthy' or 'natural' and the food is not healthy or natural at all. They hide msg in the food under other names like 'yeast extract', 'spices', etc. (there is a long list of names that are actually nothing more than hidden msg), which doesn't sound dangerous at all.
These chemicals actually 'cause' obesity and the food is providing no nutritional value at all.
And any nutrition that MAY be there is destroyed in the microwave.
There is SO much evidence now that proves food additives cause obesity so you can't assume that an obese person is just over-eating and being lazy.
Now you've got GMO food that isn't required to be labeled as such, and a new bill in the works that prevents consumers from knowing what's in the milk they drink. People don't know that when they buy packaged meats in the supermarket, that it contains sodium nitrate to make it look red and fresh when it's not fresh at all. Sodium nitrate causes pancreatic cancer.
