Fast food + Politics = obesity?

Would it be reasonable to say America's obesity is due, in some part, to the political lobbying and inescapable advertising of fast food Corporations?

Same way you produce products with a short lifespan to increase profit. You need short lifespan people to work and die before asking for too much in pensions and medicine. Work/consume/die. Welcome to the machine. Have a nice productive day.

Reasonable, but probably not significant.  If the food is cheap and available, and is not rat poison, it will be purchased and consumed for those reasons; in fact, it's short lifespan is designed around this idea - it lasts for a short time and has minor piece-wise overhead, but it gets eaten quickly, relatively.

The low-overhead means of downplaying this food - regulating providers to give out nutrition (anti-nutrition?) charts with their food - demonstrates that by and large people don't care as much unless they already have cared enough.  Its convenience to taste is the only consideration.
