Some people get fat just looking at food, and this may get worse with age. Slow metabolisms, bad genes can play a role. This does not necessarily explain rising rates of obesity over time, but it can explain how some people become obese so easily despite not eating that much or why obesity is so hard to treat or the high failure rates of dieting.
