Pretty much agree with what everyone says about the quantity and quality of foods we eat today being a primary cause.
Anyone else want to make a comment on what they would do to try and resolve the problem as that was the second part of my original question.
My personal views as listed in my earlier posts are very interventionist and amount to forcibly stopping the population buying bad foods by pricing them out of reach and by severely restricting advertising. The purpose of a policy like that is an attempt to force us back to how things were up to around 40 years ago when to me the balance was just about ok. To do this in my mind entails ending up having a ban on advertising similar to that on tobacco, a government campaign in the same style as drink driving campaigns, an anti bad food education campaign rather than just a pro "five a day one" and adopting a similar minimum price model that gets debated about alcohol.
What other ways are there to stop this inexorable rise that would work? Do we really need to be worried if we don't stop it?
