This is the kind of prejudice that has caused the problem of obesity to be
ignored and even blamed on the victim. Obesity, is often age related. People
who follow the same diet and exercise programs for years, suddenly reach a
certain age, and start packing on weight like mad.

And apparently, when they are encouraged to follow low fat/low calorie diets,
their problems get worse. Anyway, for a rather lengthy and technical
discussion of the subject, read http://www.rdrop.com/users/caf/adipos.html
