I have no doubt that many of these plethora of chemicals that are in our every day environment are endocrine disruptors or worse, most of us would be surprised just how significantly we have changed the chemistry of our environments over the last century. But I'm not convinced that they're the cause for obesity. Contributors, sure. The cause? Your body has to make fat out of something, with or without an endocrine disruptor. I've never met a fat person that doesn't drink soda every day. It's sugar and seed oil. That's what it comes down to. Most of what we eat is not food really, but the last mile in a marketing campaign, it barely even qualifies as a product. That combined with the rise in sedentary work and recreation is all you need to explain it.
