Becoming overweight is a slow problem, something that happens over the course of years. The solution is also slow: changing food behavior and keeping that up for a long period of time while resisting all kinds of temptations and pressure from a body that has gotten accustomed to a certain way of being and resists change. Humans (or at least this human) are not good at dealing with slow problems. We like to fixate on immediate, discrete threats. Also there's a global industry that profit s from people being addicted to cheaply produced unhealthy food.
