Re: Obesity 'causes more cases of some cancers than smoking'
There are often stress or depression related triggers for overeating, and the cheapest, easiest to come by snacks on our supermarket shelves are loaded with processed sugar that gives you a massive calorie dose without filling you up (the sugar industry played a blinder, getting everyone focused on fat content ... fat content in food is arguably a far less serious problem because ingesting it makes you feel full). So the deck is indeed stacked against you to an extent. There are push factors to overeating, and when you eat, there are too many foods that readily cause weight gain.
Having said all that, you still have to go to a shop, put it in a trolley, take it home and then put it in your mouth...
