It's hard to explain that to an unfit person who would argue it's immeasurably more enjoyable to eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Sometimes only after they develop heart disease or diabetes, or other obesity-related health complications do they realize maybe it wasn't such a good idea to never exercise and frequently supersize.

It's always hard to convince an addict of practicing anything vs. their addiction. This is an entirely different issue in my opinion.
Explaining it is easy, these folks generally understand, it simply doesn't matter because they're hooked.
This situation is pervasive, it's no different than people being addicted to activities unnecessarily burning fossil fuels, despite their rational understanding of how it's slowly ruining their habitat.
