On the most basic level, anyway, the bulk of this country's obesity problem is quite simply a combination of eating too much (even good foods, most make portion sizes far too big) and not doing enough to burn the energy (lots of retail and desk jobs, not much manual work, kids wrapped in bubble wrap in their houses by scared parents instead of out being active).

Totally agree.
