The vast majority of weight gain is due to food, not a lack of exercise. If you eat a McDonald's cheeseburger, it takes an hour of exercise to burn it off.

There are just a few extra calories that you don't burn off, and that adds up over the course of a year. So the weight problem is technically an eating problem, but it's subject to unconscious behaviors and perceptual biases that you have to control over a long period of time.
