I propose still another theory: it has been shown in animal experiments that stress cause weight gain. Our society is filled with stress because we are over-crowded on this planet. Overcrowding in animals results in the exhaustion of the adrenal glands. It also causes depression (in us) and even a collapse in behavior which, in our case, can be called "social problems."

That is a reasonable theory. The question is, what changed. Over crowding is actually do to science and technology, allowing higher population density. As far as I am concerned, this is useful progress, but something closer to atheism fixed one problem and created another. There was short term progress leading to new long term problems. Now we need a social mop to clean up the mess.
The process is almost getting mud on your hands, as the social scientist cultivate within the atheist garden of science, which is very nicely done. You go inside the house to clean that off your hands, but mess up the sink. Now we need to clean that mud off, but in doing so spray water everywhere with the sink shower. Then you walk in the water that fell on the floor to make foot prints on the floor. While cleaning that up the bucket gets tipped over. Before long one forgets the muddy hands was the original cause, since one is now using towels to dry the rug. If there was enough fore-thought maybe the outside hose would have been a better way to clean off the hands.
