Why are my characters so skinny & I'm so fat

Damn if every last one of my characters in True Age http://amzn.to/1KhNyEL isn't slim, trim and ... well, not all that fit. OK, they have the benefit of genetic intervention and True Age Tabs that keep them young and more or less beautiful for 300 years.
But they're not so fit, because the quality of the food is pretty meh. After all , when there are 300 billion people to feed, you gotta cut corners.
But those who don't take advantage of the technology are skinny, too. Damn but starvation and a subsistence life-style will do that.
Meanwhile, I pack on the pounds, pound on the keyboard and try to muster the discipline to shed (lets start with) 30 pounds. Actually, I do plan to get serious about this big, fat situation - even if it means sacrificing some writing time to exercise.
