What's forcing people to keep eating terrible diets and getting fat? What's forcing <bad habit> that results in <bad outcome>. The answer is usually human weakness or someone seeking to make a profit by encouraging the bad habit, or a combination of the two.

As individuals, there's nothing we can do other than exert willpower, and we should. But as a society we should also be asking questions about the supply side of these bad habits.
