Alternatively: Capitalism has robbed the working class of any time for exercise while simultaneously pushing food that is dirt cheap to make with artificial additives that lead to excess consumption.

But that doesn't fit the convenient narrative of "it's all society's fault," which pushes all blame and need for action off the observer.

Is there anything in the world this website won't blame on capitalism?

There are plenty of working class people that aren't fat and there are plenty of rich people, or retirees, or unemployed that are fat.

Being fat is about eating too much and not moving enough. People at some point need to take some responsibility for their actions.

It's pointless blaming the individual for a global crisis. Something systemic is to blame. And it really is a global crisis, it's just more severe in some places.
