However many forms of obesity are not just a matter of eating properly or exercising. Also like in many places if you have not learned what is healthy and how to balance intake with exercise etc., and all your food choices are unhealthy ones, then chances of becoming obese is very good.
The point is that obesity is not a "moral" choice as many seem to think, but a result of long term social and behavioral conditioning processes. Funny thing though if you look at the food industry, high fat, high carb, high fructose foods tend to be the most profitable for the industry. So of course that's going to be pushed, and using the same very successful techniques that have been a part of US advertising for the last 50 years.
