People eating. It does not go any deeper. We are what we eat. The choice is ours. I'm fat because I eat processed foods, junk food and eat potato chips. If myself, and a few million other Americans stopped buying these things, the companies would go out of business and other companies would begin feeding us other things that we wanted to eat. We are fat because we want to be fat. It really is that simple. Not deep at all. I am 100% responsible for what I put into my body.

Parents are the number one reason, in my opinion. But also fast food places like Macdonalds which become addictive and easy to buy. Plus it's more acceptable to be lazy, these days.

Look up Macdonaldisation. It's about how the world is now quick and easy, like a fast food restaurant. It's very interesting.

I think it's the people. Sometimes it's things that happen to the people (genetics, emotional issues, mental illnesses) that can cause people to gain weight. But mostly it is what we eat now a days. Most people will grab something that is easy and cheap rather than something that is good. And as technology advances, people become lazier and lazier.
