I'm not even talking about having time to "go to the gym." I'm simply talking about choosing better food to eat, eating less food, and perhaps choosing more active hobbies instead of more passive ones. I totally understand that some people don't have the time or the money to go to the gym. This isn't about the gym, it's about lifestyle.
As I said from personal experience above, its not specifically about the gym. If you don't have time for the gym, you dont have time for "active hobbies," or passive ones for that matter. Choosing better food truly means choosing more expensive "healthy" food or choosing meals that take longer to cook. Because truly, to someone who is busy.. TV dinners and fast food are the quickest way to eat during their busy schedule. If you're working 3 jobs, you don't exactly have time to go home and cook yourself a "real" dinner. 6 minute microwave dinner or McDonalds, it is.

I'm just saying that you still seem to be ignoring that quality of life, social status, and education greatly determine the time and money you have available to live a "healthy" and non-obese life.
