It's much more than that, tho. Obese people can be obese because they sit around, but they can also be sedentary because they're obese. At a certain point one can eat too much garbage for any activity level.

There's also the fact that pets, lab animals and wild rats are becoming obese at similar rates as humans. Can't exactly pin cultural degeneracy on a laboratory mouse or a sewer rat.

If both, that could suggest something terrifying. If just those around people, a probable dietary link. (On an anecdotal note, I stopped feeding my cats grain based food and they stopped gaining weight.)

Wish I could afford to do that. As it is I beg for cat food donations.

Dean is obese if not morbidly so, Hank is skinnyfat, Pokey is heavier than he should be.
