I think that might be a bit of a stretch.
People are obese, primarily out of choice. Granted, its unfair that
some of us have the genetic make up that allows us to eat a higher
number of calories than others, but at the end of the day, people make
choices.
It's not even like people can argue that they're obese becasue fast
food is the most accessible food option in thier lives given the recent
push to get healthier options in the industry.
