is this the easy way out?

I had gone to the pharmacy to stock up on my vitamins, you know the usual ones....calcium, iron and so on, and was surprised the see the largest part of the store was dedicated to a variety of diet pill. Obesity is one of the major diseases over here, along with Cardiac problems and Diabetes, but to me this is not the right solution. I know it's each individual's personal choice, but to be healthy in the long term, one must make some effort, some sort of regular movements that constitute some sort of exercise. That's just what I feel.
