So, some research has shown that curing obesity would save the healthcare system 50% more dollars than curing cancer.
I realize people don't chose to get obese or get cancer. Lifestyle choices play a roll in getting obese. Some lifestyle choices play a roll in getting cancer.
But exercising for an hour a day and watching what you eat... well, sadly.. that doesn't cure cancer.

People do choose to be obese. They chose their lifestyle and are responsible for what it does to them. There are a few exceptions - people with thyroid problems, etc etc - but the vast majority of people who are overweight/obese bear the responsibility for their condition.
One could say the same thing about cancer if we knew more about what actually gave us cancer...
