Buchholz emphasizes the before blaming fast food outlets and their products for the increase in obesity rates; one should make sure that their claims are valid. The primary cause of the increase in the obesity levels in the United States should solely be blamed on the change in the lifestyle of the citizens.

The change in lifestyle of the American citizens is to blame for the increase in obesity levels.

The author clearly looks at the history of obese levels a couple of decades ago and compares to the present. The context of the post is relatively true, and I believe no one can challenge it whatsoever
