I'm sorry, but I must disagree. Unless these people are metabolizing oxygen into fat, they are eating too much. Imagine if you could 'overfill' your car's gas tank (fuel, required for energy) - but every time you overfill it, the excess is stored in the form of adding to the exterior size of the car. Initially, the purpose would be to use that stored fuel later when the tank is empty... but what if you never let the tank get empty? And what if you overfill the tank every single time? The car would just grow and grow. This is what 99.9% of Americans are doing with their bodies.
Granted, some people do have a genetic predisposition to retain more fat and have body types that make it impossible to ever be "thin" - but that is a far cry from being obese.
Have you ever met someone who is too fat because they eat too many vegetables? Drink too much water? No. They eat fast food, they snack on junk food, they have extra helpings of potatoes with sour cream... then they go to the gym and do a push-up and wonder why they can't lose it.
