Does this make any more sense if you've played the game?

They still have work to do, apparently it creates mostly useless things that are worn out and ready to be disposed.

Anyway: Obesity is a disease. It is not "normal". It's a dangerous condition with proven health risks to the individual and demonstrable costs to society.
Obesity is multifactorial. Behavior, metabolic or genetic disorders, societal pressures, and the list goes on...
Regardless of the totality of the condition, behavioral factors are almost always involved, and by their nature are always controllable given adequate motivation. (They're behaviors, after all.) This doesn't mean they're enough by themselves in all cases, but they're a necessary component.
Non-behavioral factors are often controllable with medical intervention. The decision to seek medical intervention is often a controllable behavior. ("Barriers to access" acknowledged.)
