All of what you listed, and in large portions. A good amount of black people also genetically hold onto weight more, as their bodies are more used to scarcity from a historical perspective. Beyond that, corner and convenience stores sell all sorts of junk food for pretty cheap. If you only have a dollar you can still get a pretty big bag of chips.
It's also due to lack of nutrition education, which is a whole other can of worms. "Food deserts" are a thing, but they're not as impactful as some would have you believe. It's the fact that even when grocery stores with healthier foods are built in some areas, they still go out of business due to proximity of fast food places and cheap corner snack stores.

a number of reasons, one of which I'd like to mention is that once upon a time, most work in America (and in general but lets focus for now) was manual and agricultural labor, things that need a lot of energy
this leads to food and the portions of said food that became "normal" were made with this in mind
but not that's not the case and most people are more sedentary than even a hundred years ago, let alone two or three hundred
if you eat like you're going to be doing hard work all day, but don't do the work, no shit youre gonna get fat
calories in calories out may not be ALL there is to it, but it's still a damn big part

it's a modern supply surplus problem.
Calories dense food that we crave is available for cheap in great quantities and the human brain is hardwired to seek out fatty, sweet, and carb-filled foods and stuff ourselves silly because up until about 150-200 years ago, the vast majority of the world was malnourished.

The modern man has yet to catch up mentally with the easy access of food and still behaves like a hungry peasant/caveman gorging himself on every tasty treat put in front of him.

This wasn't a problem 40-50 years ago when you still needed to perform regular physical activity to do things, but now you can live your entire life from a chair and get everything delivered, and even the delivery person sits 90% of his work day.

The problem, in short, is we are dumb apes with easy access to calorie dense food and little or no incentive to work out and burn it off.

Probably, that shit's in everything. That and/or some other form of sugar. Plus people eat a fuckload of packaged foods and many drink more soda than plain water. I used to live with someone who'd guzzle dollar store soda straight out of the 2L bottle, often finishing more than 1 per day. He was always complaining about feeling like shit so I told him to drink more water and he switched to Kool-Aid and used like 10 pounds of my sugar in just a few weeks.

I'm not really one to talk, I'm a fatty too but that's because of beer and a lack of exercise. Partially because I moved my exercise stuff to a public part of the house at the request of my fatty roommate and then he touched it literally 0 times.

Soda and "snacks".
Some people get so used to responding to boredom by snacking that they spend more of their waking time eating than not.
I used to habitually snack, fucking just tucking into a sack of licorice candy or buffalo chicken pretzels as I sat around and shitposted, you can accidentally eat twice your daily requirement in shitty flour, palm oil, and salt if you just absently mindedly graze for two hours.

Annie America goes to Starbucks with her fellow dumb cunt room mate for breakfast.
She decides to get a drink and a breakfast sandwich, a "mocha cookie crumble frappuccino" and a ham, swiss & egg sandwich.
It's 8:15 as they waddle out of the Starbucks and Annie America just ate 1040 calories.
to work that off if she wanted to plop her fat ass in an exercise bike she'd have to stay in there keeping a vigorous pace for an hour and a half.
Most euros are not eating like Americans but spending three hours in the gym a day to compensate, you'd all look fucking jacked.
Annie needs to eat less, moving more is generally good, but it's not the best quickest or easiest way to lose weight.

elaborating on this, i think health insurance is a primary driver. a lot of basic medicine (im talking painkillers for an injury) is allowed to be denied coverage if you're "obese" (which is determined by your doctor, btw). I know plenty of people who have remained the same weight and BMI for years now be labeled obese by their doctors where they weren't before, and it gets in the way of our shitty american health insurance actually covering fucking anything

there's other smaller industries that benefit too (gym memberships, activewear, supplements, keto shillers), but they don't have political lobbying power in the US so i'm pretty sure they just benefit passively.

The cutoffs were changed in the US once, in 1998, to match up with everyone else, and they've been the same since. That may be where the idea that they're being revised down came from, but if they were really changing in recent years you'd be able to find examples of different numbers listed on old sites or in images.

>in 1998, the cutoff point between normal and overweight was reduced to a BMI of 25 to bring it into line with the 4 categories in the WHO guidelines.
