That's not the only reason for the obesity epidemic (although it certainly didn't help). The major reason is rising financial inequality and the fact that unhealthy, sugar-loaded food is cheaper than healthy food.
Oh I'm quite aware that this is a highly complex issue that has evolved over decades and blaming it single handedly on one thing is disingenuous. Nonetheless, I still blame that article single handedly. (/s because tone doesn't convey well over text)
Also, fat acceptance. You can't blame only exterior motives and causes. Internal accountability is another piece of the puzzle.
