As for fast food restaurants causing obesity, I've worked on Indian reservations in the US where obesity is epidemic but there are no fast food restaurants. The people blame the cheap high protein commodities that they were given to improve their nutrition for the obesity,since tribes that still follow traditional diets don't get fat. I think it's not fast food per se, but lack of physical exercize and a high fat/high protein diet. I also suspect phytoestrogens in plastic etc might have something to do with the problem.
