Exactly, the problems started when we were younger. By the time you're 40, the damage is done.
The teenagers and 20 somethings just love what they call "hanging out at the mall". What do they do there ? Eat, drink, shop, eat, watch a movie, drink, eat some more, shop some more ....
Food availability is so high, its available everywhere. There's so much variety. Studies show that variety makes people consume 20-40% more. So much junk, available so easily, with so many tempting ads that portray you as "cool" if you're swigging a Coke or Pepsi ..... ads that tell you that buying stuff, eating stuff and drinking stuff is cool.
Consumerism.
