Because for thousands of years people had to worry more about starving than overeating. And America may have gotten their first, but obesity rates are skyrocketing in nearly the entire Western (and many parts of the Eastern) world. I wholeheartedly agree with you that obesity is a modern problem, but if your solution is somehow "we should redesign all American cities so you can bike to work so we can all be like the Netherlands" or "we should all grow our own food", well, that's not really a solution.
