There may also be an issue with Palmitic Acid content in foods that hopefully can be addressed. If I remember correctly they increase inflammation, cause insulin resistance in all major insulin target organs (skeletal muscle, liver, endothelial cells) and have emerged as a major link between obesity, the development of the metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerotic vascular disease.
in certain quantities they disrupt the satiation mechanism, and a high intake of them could be one on the main causes of western obesity.
There is also a possibility that there is an obesity virus that works synergistically with elevated free fatty acids (FFAs) like Palmitic Acid that could be the culprit.
Either way it goes, there is a good chance that obesity is not solely the fault of the person suffering it and that there may be a medical or diet based solution that can resolve it discovered in the near future.
