I believe obesity is largely genetic. Although I believe genetic obesity just means people have to work extra hard to lose the weight.
My brother used to eat the same foods as me and the same amount of foods as me... when we were kids. I was super skinny and he became more and more overweight and as an adult he became 245 pounds in weight.
Even when he was by then eating less food and healthier food than me as he was concerned about his weight.
And I also got far less exercise than him. And less fresh air. He went out a lot and ate healthy and I stayed indoors eating junk food and playing video games. The only excercise I got was my fast typing. And I doubt hand exercise was burning that many calories.
Now he's my weight and build (except he's taller). But he had to work super hard. He weight lifted, he did press ups, he went on regular runs, and he had a regularly healthy diet. I don't have to do any of that and I maintain the same weight.
So there's definitely a large genetic element to obesity. My dad was more like my brother in those terms... he had to work extra hard to lose weight. Whereas my mom is more like me. So, physically, when it comes to metabolism or any other genetic elements related to weight... it looks like my brother got an unlucky mix of genes that I didn't.
They're thick in two senses for being proud of their obesity! Hehe.

At least there are girls on my Facebook that are always taking selfies with captions that talk about guys liking curves, thick is beautiful, I like myself the way I am, etc. These girls are not just thick though...
