I have some relatives who are quite overweight and I can quite plainly see that it's because they've been raised on cheap, processed foods.

Do you know any overweight or obese people? If so, I think you should let them in on your "you need to actively try to be overweight." theory. That should be fun

For women, another factor to be considered is giving birth. It can be difficult to lose that extra girth after having children. My mother raised three kids in a lower income, hectic environment. She's now in her 40s and is struggling to lose weight even with proper dieting and daily exercise.
