There’s nothing systemic about overeating at an individual level. It’s a personal choice to have that extra donut or cola. Nobody is forcing it down your throat nor shaming you for refusing.
Quite the contrary with segments of modern society trying to normalize obesity.
I believe that in a vacuum, any human being on the planet can lose weight.
I also believe that we don't live in a vacuum and context matters. The fact that we consistently see people who have a lifetime of being a healthy weight gain significant weight when they move to countries with high obesity rates means that there obviously is something more to this than just "have more willpower bro"
That's why people having normal weight are now the minority across the western industrialised world. Just not enough willpower and inspirational Instagram Quotes from some Life Coaches or Libertarian Idiots.

It's food designed to be addictive and making you eat more than you need. It's a problem that needs to be solved with regulation.
But yes, blaming it on a character fault is as I said the intellectual bankrupt take, and also the take by the lobbyist of those companies
If only everyone could have your willpower, we’d have no addiction or sport injuries or, well, any misadventure from doing anything more interesting than sitting on a couch (which has its own health problems). Alas, most people have flaws.
I'm sure if you were a reasonable person you might realize how many of the diseases we treat are "lifestyle choices". But of course none of that applies to you. Because you are better than that.
Yes, that's why we see this issue in all of the industrialised world on the rise.
It's always the intellectual bankrupt response to blame individuals for a systemic problem
