Psycho, why can't you just answer my question?: were you trying to use the word "gene"?
Your a mod, and you still feed the wild life?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

No, once we accept that it isn't their fault, it means we have to recognise the only valid way to effectively deal with obesity is as a public health matter, and not as an individual matter.

Ok then, I'll leave it at that, I believe you have a point, but it certainly doesn't represent every obese person, its much more than that, and weakness has a lot to do with it also, but who knows, maybe down the track we will know more.

Correlation does not mean causation! 
Both venues may be the culprits... one for a few people, and one for the others...
Look what came by my facebook, a few minutes ago:

The ample availability of food. We're programmed to desire it. Problem is it's now too easy to obtain.

Yep, exactly, and hence, gluttony is what is killing us.

Incorrect.
The food industry thrives on over-selling their product, just like any industry. The more you sell the more you profit, it's capitalism 101. It's 100% true for the pharmaceutical companies too, which is why I detest seeing their ads on TV.
What the food industry did was designed foods that could be over-consumed. Although they didn't know about the hunger hormones at the time, the net effect is that they produced products that cause leptin resistance.

All I can say is, educate yourself better, and take responsibility for your own actions, that's how I live my life and by doing so has saved my life.
