Are you sure that obesity is a disorder in itself?
Possibly of interest: Diabetes Rising-- a book by a medical journalist which says both types of diabetes (and the distinction isn't as clear-cut as they're telling you) have been increasing for the past century, and none of the theories about why really explain what's going on.
Another angle-- how much are dieting (encouraged for fat women during pregnancy) and eating disorders contributing to obesity?
