It also has a lot to do with cheap corn syrup and high carb, genetically modified wheat products. The least expensive food is loaded with high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified, starchy wheat. This stuff has only been around since the 70s, and even the wheat is different today (low protein, high sugar, high yield). These foods trigger insulin levels which creates bounce back hunger and overeating. The same crap is fed to most the livestock. Being obese in America is a good indicator of poor economic standing. It takes planning, and often a bit extra $ to eat well. In a society of hand-out Obama voters, they're gonna hit the dollar menu first.
