Two of the reasons you're seeing rampant obesity:
1. The economy 20-40 years ago that sent Moms out of the house and to work
2. The women's lib movement that sent Moms out of the house and to work
The kids never learned how to cook.

Let's not forget the lack of true PE in school.
Knowing how to cook has little to do with it, IMHO. We ate fast food growing up maybe once a month. My mother cooked every single night unless we went out to a nice restaurant and it was a full dinner - fruit, bread, meat, at least 2 veggies, milk, etc. But every single one of us has ALWAYS had a weight problem. It didn't help that she was raised in the south and everything was cooked with fat. :P
