Interesting story, there is one big hole in the idea of a deliberate obesity policy...

if our overlords are capable of influencing social programs and they wanted a fat population to feed off, wouldn't they ensure that everyone in the third world got enough to eat? There is enough food out there to feed the whole world, it just doesn't always get distributed. Its only the first world that's obese, and there aren't nearly as many people here as there are in the third world. Hungry off-worlders with the ability to influence policy here on earth would ensure that Sub-Saharan Africans, with their high birth-rates were as overfed as North Americans are.
