The most important factors are eating too much and exercising too little. That's bunk. PC bunk.
No one gets sick long-term from abundant eating of good foods. And a person gets an appetite, a hunger to match his activity level. People CAN NOT eat too much, long term.
It's probably more the mix of foods and foodstuff eaten that's the negative -- remember that refrigeration, preservatives and modern food processing techinques are about as recent as these problems. On the positive side -- we have plenty of food, and no reason to eat spoiled or rotten foods.

i agree. from personal observation, as a diabetic, who has lived around the world, I found it most prevalent in areas where there were food shortages in the past - eg - northern europe (winter ice/snow), and egypt (desert/rain/flood). Very little in areas like South East Asia, but again common among Hawaiians, who had to survive long ocean voyages to get to hawaii.
