I think there are lazy people, then there are those who feel helpless and find themselves in a spiral. They crash diet and don't get results. The biggest controllable solution is to make it easier to make good decisions. I've talked to people who think eating a meatball sub at subway is actually a healthy alternative. Or that think drinking diet coke is responsible. And how many lives would be healthier if people knew how to cook? Or blows my mind how horrible people in my generation are about cooking. When I cook, control my ingredients. When I buy packaged food, it is almost impossible to cut through the marketing spin to know really what I'm putting into my body.
That's what bothers me the most. When somebody tries to do the right thing but isn't educated enough to make the right decision because things have gotten so complicated. Or people who run all the time but don't build muscles or control their diet.
