"So if a person's weight is not within their control, who does stuff those hundreds of excess calories into their bodies?"

There are MANY people with metabolic disorders, many of which are caused by years of wreaking havoc on one's body TRYING to slim down. Others have hypothyroidism (medical condition)which means their metabolism is incredibly slow. A person with this condition can eat half of what you eat in a day and still manage to gain weight....their bodies just do not process at full speed. Still others put on weight as a side effect of certain medications.

Not all people who are "fat" are stuffing their faces with garbage.
