In general, yes. But it's not always the amount you eat. I starved myself in high school to the point of making myself extremely sick. I killed my metabolism. I recently spent a solid 4 months exercisng no less than 30 minutes a day and no less than 5 days a week (often 45 minutes to an hour a day). I always eat very little and I STILL don't loose weight. The assumption that people have weight problems because they're lazy and eat too much is so off base. If it were a matter of eating and exercize, I'd be a size 2. But exercizing that much for that long with no results only threw me into depression.

Is the world too focused on weight?
