There are many theories on the causes of obesity. Some say too much fat, too many calories. Ironically, many of the modern diets have generally failed to fix the problem.
The above video is long. For people who will reply with tl;dr here is the synopsis:
Watch it if you get a chance. I really enjoyed it and found it both eye opening and informative, without needing some shock factor or sex to sell it. It follows a simple premise and makes a lot of sense.

The problem is sugar - PERIOD. Sugar is in everything. Things in nature that are naturally high in sugar are also typically high in fiber. Cut out sugar, and even with higher caloric/fat intake you tend to not be obese. As everyone I know who has maintained this same moderate diet since his/her teens and is now in late 20s/30s has generally maintained his.her weight. It's people with either inconsistent diets or who go downhill late in life while not being active and maintain a terrible diet that get screwed. This doesn't account for genetic disposition for that small % of people who fall into that category. This also explains why we have an epidemic of obese 6 month old children (formula is 30% corn and 10% sugar)

...and no, the problem is not sugar. The problem is that people are fat because of their laziness. They should exercise a little and stop the bitching.

Also, watch the video. I used to think the same thing, a sedentary life was the primary cause. Watch the video and let me know if you change your mind.

Watch the video and then come back and reply. The video makes a very convincing argument and has a great deal of data, including filling holes of HOW we got into this problem (how sugar got into everything we consume).

The fat problem in this country started when schools stated limiting or removing the physical education. This all stated about 20 years ago and it isn't a coincidence that the fat problem in this country started right after that.
Today, kids play video games and sit in front of the computer all day instead of going out and running around. Playing like kids are suppose to play. They use their cell phones or text friends instead of walking to their friends house.
The problem is not sugar. The problem is the education in this country.
