In the US, two thirds of the population are overweight and one third is obese (NIH link - 2010 data). Your hope is already forlorn.

Right now a lot of the extreme fats are still in their 20s and 30s. In the next 10-15 years when they start dropping at epidemic levels, there'll be a huge upswing in health and fitness crazes and they'll become the lepers they should already be. Patience will be rewarded.
I only have 2 friends who are not over weight to some extent. Oh and a friend I talk to at my local pub. The ones who are "trying to lose weight" keep trying to feed me the gross shit they think is healthy because it's "home-made". No I do not think pasta in a pot with tons of sauce and butter and sausage is appealing. I showed one of them how to make a variation on Alton Brown's perfect scrambled egg (I can't eat yolks so I just used whites) which fits one egg on 2 slices of toast and is a perfectly good meal and they just ate their pasta while I had delicious egg on toast with mustard.

If obesity is normal, I'm happy being "abnormal." Fuck that noise.
