Put these people in the dictionary under the 'Fail at life' entry.
Hereditary obesity is an issue, but it can be overcome with a healthy diet and exercise. Sure, they have to work harder at it than the rest of us, but it's nothing that a normal person can't do.
Obesity is a huge problem (no pun intended) where I come from (Wisconsin). People like to blame their genes, and that may have something to do with it, but the real reason is their lifestyle. They get up in the morning, SIT at the breakfast table, SIT in their big cars on their drive to work, SIT in their office all day, SIT in their car on the drive home, SIT in front of the TV at home, SIT at the dinner table, SIT in front of the TV again, and go to bed. Add in a ton of fatty foods, and you get a lot of fat people.
These folks ought to play some sports or get in the gym. It's not just healthy, it's fun. It's not like they don't have the time.
