Do these people not work? How do they just drink soda all day? I can't remember my last soda.

I'd say it's much deeper seeded than just uber sugary soda. It's behavioral I would think in many cases. People use food to cope with life. Feeling down? Here's a candy bar. You need to eat. Here's some food. The more the better. Parents train many of their kids this way and when you see these fat kids with their heavy parents at grocery stores for example, take a glance at what's in the shopping cart, and you'll get it. This kids become adults, and train their kids the same way, with a few who escape the vicious cycle, but then there's society that reinforces the behavior and items at the grocery store, located in the center aisles that cater to the lunacy, and combine that with the little exercise people get, and it's no great wonder we are an overweight society, and some take it even further and become obese.
