I was a little overweight for a while... It stemmed from being out of college, freshly married, and having extra money. I can agree with what DeltaSigStan said. I could afford to eat all this good food, on the surface it's good for you (steak, vegetables, seafood...dessert - well maybe not everything) and then you start looking at the butter, cheese, heavy cream, sugar content and you don't have to wonder any more where the fat started piling on.
There are exceptions to the weight problem (medical conditions...), but on the whole I believe that it is a personal problem. Most people don't have to have a weight problem if they eat right and have a little will power (easier said than done I know)
