I think the issue is consumerism. We are fed advertising on delicious looking food with a mindset to eat 3 meals a day.
More consumption = higher profits.

I agree, except it's more than 3 meals a day, it's eating crap at every opportunity.
Our friends have 4 kids, 12, 10, 8, and 6 (see a pattern there?). They very deliberately planned their family, but I think they left something out of the plan.
Both parents work and the kids are in all kinds of school activities. There is no time to plan meals or eat well, everything they get is prepacked and nuked in the microwave or picked up on the run from a fast food place.
It's the way they planned their family life and none of them is over weight now, but I'm afraid they are setting the kids up for unhealthy lifestyles.
