It's not "society's" fault, it's just as Halx said:

Society is too big a brush to paint with. It's not all of society, it's consumerism, marketing and product development. It's chemically addictive foods made of the worst stuff a person can eat. It's subsidizing corn so that we can put a cheaper sugar in our sodas that convinces our brains that we're not full. It's combining chemicals made of god knows what in order to make our chips taste kinda like barbecue sauce, but without using expensive tomatoes or onions or garlic. It's about attacking our brains with insane advertisements every five minutes for carb-rich, empty-calorie beer or ice cream with 20x your daily allowance of fat. I've never even seen a commercial for an orange or a bell pepper. In my entire life.
On the other side, it's not like we tried to fight off the zombies, we allowed the zombies to attack us, bite us, and then we continued right along with them eating whatever flesh we could find. We never banded together in a mall that has a curious amount of chainsaws and guns to protect ourselves. Every time you are standing in the chip aisle thinking about what over processed piece of crap will momentarily satiate your impulse control problem, you're acquiescing.
But seriously, how serious is this overweight women snatching babies thing? Shouldn't we be protecting the newborns or something? What are the overweight women doing with the babies?
