I think that rising obesity rates can be due to many factors. These factors range from convenience, lack of time to cook (Depending on region), to transportation (LIke in the Midwest, where EVERYBODY drives). However, upon researching for "Why are Americans fat?" I found a very logical answer to this question. Money. If you go to the grocery store, the cheap food is fattening, and the expensive food is healthy. This also applies to restaurants, where cheap restaurants like McDonald's are fattening, but cheaper. With weights going up in the last couple of years, as the economy slumps, this reason seems to make the most sense. Therefore, the more money people spend on food, possibly the less they will weigh, depending on what they buy and how often they eat, and so forth. But a definite trend is seen here.
