This has always interested me, especially when I've read here and there that issues such as obesity is much more accurate as being a diet problem rather than an exercise problem. Not that the latter doesn't help at all, certainly.

    Yeah it's a lot easier to eat less calories than it is to burn off that many. 100 calories is like a bag of crisps or so (depends on what) but 100 calories is also about 10 minutes of running which is a lot more work than just eating less. Not that you shouldn't run but if you're trying to lose weight it has a much bigger impact to stay at a calorie deficit.
