You can say whatever you want to about sugar. I think it's that mixed with other things. Lack of exercise, people get in their cars to get the mail, even if it's less than 200 yards away. How many kids are outside playing tag, kick the can, hiding-go-seak, instead of playing video games. People eating to much for the amount of exercise they do. People like buffets because they can eat their money's worth. They don't even know what a portion is, or what the three food groups are.

Then there are more people alive today with medical problems that cause weight gain than there were 60, 80 years ago.

I think that is the biggest factor. I think people live more stressful lives today, by choise than 50 years ago. Look at the kids today. They don't know how to relax. They are always trying to do 3 or more things at once,and then are upset if something doesn't turn out great. Look at the stupidity of road rage incidents.
