7. It's not single-handedly responsible

but there is a prevailing thing that every employer provided meal includes dessert, and I've noticed almost everyone will take it if it's offered. It goes along with the idea that we can only eat vegetables if they are coated with fats. I saw someone on a diet forum ask for what kind of dip they should use if they want to eat raw cauliflower - like the idea of just eating a plain vegetable didn't occur to them.

Portion sizes, carbs as the mainstay of each meal, and sweetened beverages are also right up there for contributing to the epidemic. I also wondered about google deciding they don't want employees to buy soda, so they don't put that at eye level. There's another option!
