Is there a causal relationship between electricity consumption and obesity, or is it just an illusory correlation❓

Consumerist lifestyle of (some) richer countries leads to both of these, tho I don't see any direct relation. I guess obese people may be more likely to invest in a bigger TV, may turn up the AC more, and spend more time in hospitals hooked to machinery?

Generally speaking, electricity is mostly used up by factories and businesses.
