I also think that a big factor in weight gain as a society is the introduction of overly processed "food" that we eat nowadays. It's not natural or real food and our body's can't process it correctly.

Almost every psychotropic med has a side effect of weight gain. The only ones that don't tend to have nausea as an effect instead. My clients had a lot of problems with the combination of their meds + really crappy eating. They'd go buy a two liter for 50 cents from walgreens and drink that all day, every day.

For people without much in the way of cooking skills (and we provided skills training and meals for residential) cheapest food = crappiest.
