Fast foods and obesity
Fast food consumption went up in the nineties in line with the increase in obesity and diabetes.

"The assertion that heavy marketing of energy-dense foods or fast-food outlets increases the risk of obesity is supported by almost no data."
William Steiger, US health department official and head of the US delegation to the World Health Org.
