To pile on other popular theories on smoking guns, there is a widespread decrease in physical activity levels. Physical activity can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes, as well as having widespread benefits on almost every system of the body. Physical activity also improves mental health, which impacts some behaviors around emotional/addiction driven over eating.

We do more physical activity now than people did in the 70s and 80s and we are significantly fatter also. I doubt it's that.

Sure, people may go to the gym more... But they also take the lift or the escalator in stead of the stairs much more, and the car in stead of a bicycle or walking. Any source for your claim?
