If we continue on the path we are at, most of the population will be overweight or obese. However, it is possible it will decrease...

Stress & fast pace of life push people to eat. There is only 24 hours in a day!
Commuting to/from work, doing family/house shores.
Getting in debt has been a major stress to a lot of people.

manage your daily life, balance work and personnal life, and enjoy life.

One of the fortunate signs of living in a wealthy country is the ability to sit around a computer worrying about the effects of obesity on its citizens. Obesity on a personal level is something everyone should be concerned about in regards to health and disease.
The answer is simple, eat healthy and more exercise and don't let any armchair health experts and hucksters convince you otherwise.
Now beyond that it is not the role of government or busybodies to tell people they must be healthy because even with the growth in obesity in today's society, people in general have never been healthier in history. The proof is in the increase of life span based on our ability to sanitize out environment in ways are ancestors could never dream of.
Mother nature is dirty, and disease ridden and fat people remind me of how much better we are off than the skinny people of Darfur.

A whole buncha fat people, overweight people, skinny people. What is obesity supposed to look like? Too vague a question to answer, really.
