Vaccination is used for prevention. Eating less is also prevention (or would you rather prefer "not eating a lot"?)... from getting obese. Once you are obese, eating less also could serve as a treatment; you lose weight.

Maybe, but it's not easy at all unlike getting a vaccine. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing a global epidemic of obesity. One has to eat less for a very long amount of time.

Are obese people starting off as obese though? I would think that they have to eat a lot to become obese to begin with, which suggests that eating less prevents one from getting obese[1].

Eating less is both prevention and treatment.
