A spiritual malaise may contribute to the problem, but economic stagnation would appear to be an unlikely contributor, given that societies get fatter as they grow more affluent, as a rule.[0] From the study: "Population obesity prevalence exhibits a positive relationship with national income and there is no evidence that the relationship, while weakening, actually turns negative at higher income levels (“obesity Kuznets curve”)." and: "In terms of the strength of the income-obesity relationship across our analyzed countries, we find that a 1% increase in per capita income was on average associated with a 1.23% and a 1.01% increase in the prevalence of obesity among adult males and females, respectively."
