Many people could reduce their weight through better diet and exercise.
Many could be helped with proper health/psychiatric care / physical therapy / diet and exercise.
Obesity causes health problems as well. For most people these conditions go untreated. This could be remedied to an extent.
Its the Lazy and "their own fault" which is problematic. I feel after a fair amount of reading on this(as I mentioned earlier) that we are biologically pre-dispositioned to horde calories, crave fat, and conserve energy. And our modern lifestyle just makes this situation worse, both by curtailing our free time and giving us lots of sedentary diversions.
