A society where over half the population is suffering from the same problem is one that needs systemic change. It doesn't make sense to blame the individual when it's a problem affecting everyone.

Something is aiding the willpower of people in countries skinnier than the US. They move here, they get fatter.

Every country skinnier than the US is getting faster. Europe is on a linear trajectory upward that hasn't changed since at least 1975. Even the Japanese are getting fatter every year.

But sure, it's a US problem.
