How many people actually look at the ingredients in the food they eat? Sugar especially via high fructose corn syrup is one of the biggest factors. Then there is just processed sugar and if you pound soft drinks and coffee in place of water you definitely going to be fat. It’s not just the amount of food people eat it’s the ignorance of what’s actually in it. Remember the big deal with the saturated fats in the news not so long ago. It’s definitely an ignorance and gluttony problem not genes. The people who are fat because of genetics are a small percentage.
Alcohol does it for a lot of people (I don't drink). Especially among people in higher-level jobs, as they get older and tend to drink more (often due to job stress), the combination of empty calories and a sedentary lifestyle combine into a perfect storm of higher obesity. I never drink anything with any calories in it aside from one glass of orange juice for breakfast and a glass of buttermilk in late evening. My diet has a bias towards protein with minimal carbs.
