As a fat guy I can say for certain the reason is eating too much.

Why do you eat too much? Obesity is almost always a mental health problem exacerbated by a sugar problem.

Then why have we seen such a rapid onset of obesity and why does obesity spread like a disease?

Why is it any more of a mental health problem than smoking?

Foods have more calories per serving than previously and people are less active than they used to be.

I cooked as a job for a while before I moved to software dev and I just enjoy food more than being thin. The effort isn't worth it to me.
