Nobody is born into a fat adult.
There’s a 20 years process to grow up into adulthood, then there’s another 20 years to get to middle age.

Brian, you keep spouting opinions and self congratulatory remarks, but provide no data. Your point about how people are born brought to mind this study of children conceived in the Netherlands during the WWII blockade (1944-45).
Children conceived during famine had much higher rates of all kinds of things, including obesity. Maybe all of these women on diets are doing their offspring a disservice . . .
People like you and joec want to believe that there are simple answers (i.e. people have problems because they are weak). I agree that self control is an issue, but I do not believe that it is the only issue.
I am happy that there are well educated, creative people out there who have open minds who will help the world find answers to its problems. You are welcome to ignore them if you like.
