I think it could be because unhealthy food that can cause obesity is more addictive and therefore more profitable.

    To summarise, it is a combination of many related factors

    1. Overly sedately lifestyle. In America, you are forced to use your car everywhere. Even in other countries, sports and gyms aren’t usually cheap, and you also need the spare time to engage
    2. Diets contain too much sugar, other people have given resources for this
    3. Stress is linked to overeating (and other disorders).
    4. There is an overabundance of snacks and drinks. A better regulated society would probably cut down on the production of these unhealthy items.
