I think there needs to be some age awareness put on the fat problem as well. Especially in the USA, if you are over or under 40/50 years of age it creates different problems.
Imo, fast food is the major factor. Too many parents working too many hours just find it easier to get fast food for them and their children 7 days a week. They are not only effecting their own health but endangering their children's.
For those over 40 or 50 it's mainly just your health. There are some situations for elderly that it might be beneficial to have a few extra kgs. If you get sick you you can lose 15 kg pretty easy. However overweight is still bad on heart and your circulatory system.
I expect the average life span without medical intervention will drop extremely with-in the next 10 or 20 years.
