Having obese Americans hurts America itself, not just the people who are overweight. You are exactly right about why people are fat. But its important to do something about it. Obesity is a disease, and should be treated as such. You could make the same claim about AIDS, and say that most people get AIDs because they sleep around and use IV drugs.
Anyway, we could try to do somehting about obesity by trying to encourage people to exercise and to eat right. Implementing some kind of incentive wouldn't cost us very much, and would certainly cost less than the problem of obesity if left alone.
