Exactly - I shop at the supermarket too, and if I did not watch what I eat and did not exercise I'd be 25-30 pounds heavier than I am today. I eat a certain amount of processed foods and simple sugars - but in selected and limited quantities.

In the large majority of cases, yes.
Man, just look at people's average weight prior to WW2 and today - nowhere near the number of fat people back then.
