It is NOT the soceity's fault or the gov'ts fault.

It is 98% of the time the individuals fault and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. The other 2% is probably genuinly some sort of a glandular problem

It is part of this disgraceful blame culture to blame someone or something else for obesity. Nobody puts a gun to your head and force feeds you chocolate eclairs.

It does NOT cost more to eat healthily than to eat fatty foods. Jogging is free and so is doing some press ups and sit ups.

The differences in life expectancies are because of several reasons, not just obesity

Obesity comes from over eating not under eating.

If you were so poor, you wouldnt have the money to over eat.

The richest country in the world, USA, is also the most obese one.

In other european countires, where standards of living are more or less the same as Britains, they do not have the same problem as Briatin.

It's all about  culture and food culture at that, not about income.

Remember primary schools banning fast food and mothers passing burgers to their children through the fence?

Look at Germany, where healthy eating is a big part of their food culture, it reflects in the fact that most of them only eat brown bread.

Look at Italy, Spain, Greece, France and compare their food culture to Britains.

Go into McDonalds in Britain and you will see mothers feeding fries to their babies in high chairs, go to mainland Europe and I'll gurantee you, you will not see anything alike.

Fatties should be made ashamed by their fatness and prompted into taking action about it. I used to be a porker until I decided that my confidence would improve greatly if I had a better self-image, and being fit and healthy would be infinitely better than being podgy and sweaty after running upstairs just the once.

"I'm unhappy because I eat and I eat because I'm unhappy"

but you raise a valid point
