It became government policy and food industry was more than happy to oblige feeding us frankenfood stuffed with sugar. It's slowly changing now, but most people are still given bad advice. Your blood results are bad? Eat less fat. Ohh they are still bad, here are some statins for you to take for the rest of your life... Yes, it's medical professionals that got us into this mess in the first place, and most of them are still making us sick by their ignorance.

the bigger epidemic is less activity and more eating of unhealthy foods. Has nothing to do with the medical profession and this "Agenda" you think they are pushing. It is pretty easy to not get fat. Its easy to not eat a ton of crappy foods and drink crappy drinks. Its easy to exercise regularly. Just have to want to not be lazy. The lazy persons excuse for being fat is to blame someone else.
It is a proven fact that people are less active now, then they have been in the past, and unhealthy foods are easier/cheaper than healthy foods.
