But there is a difference between having a little extra pudge and being obese. When you suffer from serious health problems because you lack the self-control to eat healthily(i.e. reasonable portions, not a lot of junk, daily recommended fruits and vegetables) and are too lazy to get up off of your ass and exercise, then there is an issue. When most of the country is this way, then you have a national crisis. The bottom line is that we lack self-control and too many Americans are looking for the easy way out.

For crying out loud there's an epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes in children. Children aren't supposed to have Type 2 Diabetes.
