The main cause of widespread obesity is a high GDP, though the abundance of cheap food caused by Agriculture Subsidies can encourage overeating as well. A robust State Health Service or Private Healthcare industry are both fairly essential in combating obesity, though Junk Food Taxes and Health Food Subsidies can be even more effective. An Organic Subsidy can also lower obesity some by providing more health alternatives to junk food.
