The issue of obesity is informed by socioeconomic factors, and statistically, the unhealthiest people are usually poor people who have limited access to education, nutritious food, affordable health care, and a multitude of other resources necessary for healthy living. I think obesity and its related health issues will always be a problem until something is done about the structures and policies that exacerbate the problem.
