IDK about that...
I think it has a lot to do with what people eat, not how active they are. There are plenty of skinny vegans & vegetarians out there who don't hit the gym every other day.
Think about someone as big as the girls pictured in the original post. With all that body weight, imagine how many calories they burn just by getting off their sofa to walk to the mailbox to get the mail. I would bet that the girls pictured in the original post don't just eat a lot, but eat a lot of really unhealthy food... like lots of fast food, fried food. I doubt many people could stay skinny if all their meals came off the dollar menu at mcdonalds.
Obesity in the United States is linked to class, the poorer someone is the more likely they are to be overweight. Yet blue collar jobs tend to be far more labor intensive than white collar jobs. A middle class, middle aged person is typically sitting on their ass all day in an air conditioned cubical in an office building, drives to & from work, and hires someone to do all their yard work around their home.
A blue collar worker, like a factory worker or a janitor or something like that... they're likely to walk to & from where they live, they are likely to walk to/from public transportation systems (subways... train stations... bus stops), and then when they get to work they have to do manual unskilled tasks for 8-12 hours before they go home. And then if they do have a yard, chances are they don't have the money to hire someone to keep it up.
It would be interesting to overlay the obesity map in the original post with the country's wealth distribution. I know some of the southern states pictured with abnormally high obesity problems are also among the poorest parts of the United States.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

We are the middle children of history . . . we have no great war, we have no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives . . .

I always like doing things backwards. Ever since I started smoking pot again and raiding 7-Eleven and Jack In The Box in the dead of night for munchies I've lost 40 lbs. Drinking water and eating chicken breasts never got me a hair under 305. Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers and vulgar quantities of Curly Fries are my secret.
