I think we might be talking about different kinds of people. I don't have much sympathy for the people who knowingly buy food like the extreme greasy burgers you mentioned, but I do sympathize with mildly obese people who frequently eat cheap, unhealthy food if they can't easily afford anything else, and I certainly sympathize with people who don't have the time or motivation to exercise consistently.
It's not always that simple. For example, someone with severe depression might find it extremely difficult to do these kinds of things, no matter how much free time they have. Even if you're OK mentally, there are plenty of reasons for why people don't exercise, like having to consistently work long hours and being extremely tired at the end of the day. I don't see why it should matter to other people (aside from doctors, I suppose) whether someone is slightly obese.
