I don't buy the argument that it's hard to eat healthy. Seriously, when you walk into almost every single grocery store out there, the first section you come to is the produce section. Have you checked the prices there lately? It doesn't take Daddy Warbucks to buy from the produce section. I think it takes more effort to eat like a pig than it does to eat healthy.
And the whole genetic thing? I've never met a fat person who is fat because they eat a lot. Every one of them claims it's genetic. Even if it is, the simple laws of physics dictate that in order to gain that much weight, you have to ingest a certain number of calories. Fewer calories = less weight. It's not rocket science.

Fotzlid, first I'd say that doesn't it say something about our society that we can say something like, "I know more than a few obese people" as simply a condition of a sentence? Second, I'd surmise that the people who are fat but eat less than you are more than likely eating when no one's around. I'd venture a guess that they're highly ashamed of their eating habits which is why they hide it and deny they eat what they do.
