Obesity- Is it overhyped?

Everywhere in the media, epidemic this, disease that. Now every TV station has an obesity reality TV show. Is this all just a fad? The media is all about overhyping issues, but a part of me does believe that it is an important issue that needs to be dealt with sooner or later.

I wonder if the media will just move on to something else and obesity will fall on the backburner from an importance perspective down the road.
