None of those options fit my thoughts on why people are fat. For me I simply see it as most overweight people take in more calories than they burn. I know that some people are not able to control there weight easily due to other issues but for most it is simply no physical activity coupled with a side of fries.
The funny thing for me is that growing up I was the opposite. So skinny and could not put any weight on. I worked out, tried to eat my mom out of house and home and never put any weight on (for sports). I hated being called skinny, bone rack....etc then all of sudden around the age of 25 my metabolism changed and I shot up to a max of 235lbs (6ft tall). I loved it!
I remember going home after being away for a while and my mom telling me I looked chunky! I worked hard for that weight! Only lasted for a year maybe and now i sit anywhere from 175-195lbs depending on time of year and training.
Too keep on topic, I think that quality of food and easy availability of high fat foods acts as a huge accelerator coupled with no physical activity.
