Because we are being manipulated by multi-billion dollar industries to believe it is a willpower issue. Carbohydrates are broken down into sugar during digestion. Sugar causes a hormone called insulin to be released by the pancreas. Insulin causes the body to store energy as fat. Therefore, carbohydrates cause your body to store fat. It's that simple. Americans are obese because of carbohydrates, not willpower. As someone who never got to know his grandfather because of obesity, I have very little patience for the "calories-in, calories-out" myth. Eat fat.
