My biases say yes but my brain says no. I think it's simply a function of a worsening economic situation incentivizing the consumption of poor quality food that saves people time, money, or both. Also sedentary lifestyles make a lot of heavy foods appetizing that makes you want to puke while exercising. I ate very unhealthy and was teased quite a bit for it yet never kicked the habit. Once I started receiving more disposible income than I knew what to do with, it became a lot easier to exercise, I could buy whatever food I wanted, and it sort of spun people's heads how quickly my diet changed. People keep making fun of me for having an unhealthy diet just because of inertia even though I'm eating healthier than them. I really see body positivism as being more caused by the obesity epidemic than the inverse. As well as the rise of social media sort of spiking body-shaming and anti-body-shaming sentiments. Not just in regards to weight but also things like height.
