One person's problem can be a moral failing. Thousands of people are a systemic failing.

Unless you think they literally just don't make people like they used to, if you swapped the babies in the cradle of the current generation with previous generations, we'd be thinner and they'd be fatter.

So saying the problem is people is kind of meaningless.
