30. There are a lot of reasons for being "over weight"
What the general medical profession has been saying for years is not necessarily true. Some obese people actually eat less than the average person. Tell me you haven't seen fat construction workers, they certainly don't sit on their ass all day. I just found out that the ovarian cysts that I was told was no big deal, actually is a big deal. I started taking meds for it and have lost weight, without changing my diet or exercise.

To pigeon hole every fat person into a lazy, junk food pig, is just as bad as saying any type of racial slur. You are born with the body you have, you take care of it the best way you can. Some people can afford healthy, fresh food, and some have to survive on cheap mac & cheese and white bread.
