While techinically this may be true, I think it's a lot more complicated.

I mean, eating nutritiously deficient foods may quench your hunger at the time, but it probably means you'll be hungry again earlier, causing you to either have to keep restricting yourself (which might bring other problems, I don't know, but it's not like your body makes you hungry just to screw with you) or to eat too much - in calories, but not in nutrients.

Either way it may make the whole "eat less, exercise more" mantra a lot harder to live by.

Yeah, I think we may want to focus on... "Just exercise at all" than eat less, and workout like a pro athlete.  If they try it, they will realize how good it makes them feel.

Well I agree exercise is important and actually feels good, but you can't separate these things into bubbles. It's harder to exercise when you're constantly wanting to eat more and maybe even being malnourished. It's not like the things you eat and the way you eat won't affect your metabolism and what not. I just think saying someone is fat because they don't exercise and eat too much is an oversimplification when the feedback goes both ways here.
