It's almost epidemic...
There's also a lot of selection at work there. If the people making that '70s "documentary" got a bunch of obese people in a shot, they'd likely be edited out.

There's also a lot of self-selection. Do you grocery shopping at say Whole Foods (a US supermarket chain selling "natural"/organic food), and you will see very few obese people. Shop in the WalMart grocery section, and you'll see few non-obese ones.
