There are some diseases that can cause obesity, but for the most part, being overweight is a function of too much calorie intake and too little exercise.

Does an underweight adult have a lower risk of heart disease?

Not really, being underweight is a burden on your system just as being overweight is. Being as skinny as possible is not the same as being healthy, and being unhealthy in any way, is a burden on your heart. It is true that overweight people suffer more from heart disease but underweight people are at risk for multiple illnesses because lacking body fat and muscle means you cannot retain heat well. It is best to strive for a normal weight.

Why do so many foods advertise the fact that they do not contain trans fat?

Trans fat (or unsaturated fat) increases the risk of coronary heart disease as it raises the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood. Trans fat has also been associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity. For all these health reasons many food products are now labelled as being low in trans fat.
