Is there anything that we don't know about why people are fat?

Hundreds of surveys and research projects come into the Ukmedix newsroom every month regarding weight loss and dieting. The vast majority of them come up with obvious conclusions such as the recent one from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention which says that American people are not eating enough fruit and vegetables. Other surveys come up with the findings that obese children don't do any exercise and watch too much television and that junk food has a huge amount of fat in it.

Is there anything that we don't know about why people are fat? Do we really need yet another survey/research project to tell us something which we knew already? Now there's nothing really wrong with some of these surveys, and it is important to know exactly what the facts are but it does seem to us at Ukmedix News that more effort need to be done in actual obesity prevention rather than coming up with findings which are pretty obvious anyway!

Some of these surveys are sponsored by governments and cost millions of pounds and at Ukmedix News we believe that the cash would be far better spent on coming up with initiatives to stop people eating in the first place. Everybody knows that the biggest culprit for obesity in both American and United Kingdom is fast food and the fact that children can get easy access to it. The fast food industry spends millions on getting children to eat their junk because they know that once they develop an appetite for it they will find it hard to give it up.

The fast food industry is therefore actually acting on the results of surveys which show that the younger children are when they are introduced to fast food the more likely they are to get hooked, whereas governments and health authorities around the world might make a little bit of noise every now and again but seem to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
