alt Hacker News> How can it be argued that the cause is anything other than behavior when so many others are doing just fine?
Aren’t you are ignoring the way western society influences behavior? eg lack of walkability of suburbs, massive price difference between fresh and processed foods, constant advertising of junk food & alcohol.

Not sure why you are downvoted. I had the same question about who’s behavior we are referring to. Attributing obesity simply to individual behavior and choices is pretty myopic. Just look at government subsidies for corn. There are larger forces than the individual at play. This is a social problem.
How do people move around cities? They teleport?
Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Nobody is forcing you to eat those.
