The causes of obesity are almost always overeating and inactivity. What makes people overeat is another argument entirely, but our daily caloric intake is ridiculously excessive.
Diseases like untreated Sleep Apnea can lead to obesity by requiring the victim to eat excessively to make up for the extreme fatigue and mental deterioration created by interrupted sleep.

Exercise also can be used to regulate fatigue.
I don't sleep well unless I get 3-4 hours of aerobic exercise a week.
Also, obesity IS one of the main causes of sleep apnea. Claiming you need to eat to overcome it? That is like saying a good cure for withdrawl smokers go through is a cigerette....
I would like to see some goverment agency go after the food industry like they did the tobaco industry. The number of additives they put in food just to enhance flavor could be the reason some foods are typically over eaten, like oriole cookies , I heard they had over 20 different ingredients (chemicals) just to enhance flavor

Why don't we just stop paying their medical bills now? Why can't everyone just pay their own way?
Get the government out of the health care issue and the problem is solved.
