I don't think categorizing obesity as important for economic activity is accurate. There's many more angles to promoting a healthy lifestyle than just consuming less. For example: eating healthier (more expensive*), buying a gym membership / joining a sports club, hiring a personal trainer / dietitian, purchasing exercise equipment, etc *Yes, you can eat cheap and healthy, but this often comes at a price of convenience. Healthy convenient snacks tend to be more expensive. You can also charge more for leaner/free-range/grass-fed meats, healthier cooking oils like extra virgin olive oil, etc
