Those bad habits would probably exist for most of those people no matter where they worked. Startup founders are a tiny portion of the overall population and in my relatively small, unscientifically counter sample don't appear to suffer any more from obesity than the rest of the population.

Obesity comes from people allowing themselves excuses. "I'm not going to work out today because I have to get this code shipped" would just as easily become "I'm going to just eat at McDonalds today because I have to get home to take the kids to baseball practice" if they switched professions/lifestyles.
