It really is that easy. A "want" is not a "need" and can be countered with sufficient will-power. The catalyst for change is wanting to change. If you do not want to be anything but fat and poor, then you are to blame for your "condition." Even a sniveling fool has the power to change themselves and their habits/routines for the better, if they want to. I don't buy the "everything is addictive" argument, as it seeks to explain away the absolute lack of restraint, willpower, common sense, and initiative that some people have and instead replace it with government funding.
