When we stress, we release cortisol, which makes us store more of our calories as fat, even if we are NOT over-eating. Chronic stress and low socio-economic status (both typical components of TBM family life) make people fat. Even when they are fed the same diet as more prosperous and less-stressed individuals, they will come out fatter.
Plus, when TBMs pay tithing, stockpile food storage, and save for missions, they have less $$ available to spend on healthy food, like fruits and vegetables.
