My personal unscientific suspicion is that one major cause of the obesity epidemic and its consequence is all the processed (including fast food) we eat with increasing frequency. So of course when I see something about that diet/obesity link, I post it. See the article in the LATimes at:

It ends,
"Though trans fat's critics are pleased with recent actions by McDonald's and Frito-Lay, the changes won't transform Americans' overall diet--a diet that gets more of its calories from fatty, salty, fried and processed foods than from old-fashioned, nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein.
That type of eating is a culprit in obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes."
