How does Indian food cause obesity?
The most popular Indian dishes in America are typically cream-based, which means there is a rather high fat content. However, there are multiple dietary benefits to eating this type of cuisine, as a variety of vegetables and lean proteins are utilized. Ultimately, any food in moderation will not cause obesity. The Golden Rule is key here- find a balance, eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. Sure, it's important to pay attention to nutritional content, but if you gorge on low-fat or fat-free foods, you will gain weight. Listen to your body when you go to the local Indian buffet, and just stop eating as soon as you begin to feel slightly full. After that, how about a walk around the block?

I don't believe that there would be any reason for Church Authorities to go out of their way to preach about not getting fat (and the Church won't "force" anyone to do anything anway). However, Church teachings are clear that our bodies are "temples," and that people should take care of them and treat them with respect. Yes. Ultimately, it's every one's choice to make for themself, what they will do with their life.
Besides, I think there are much more damaging things you can do to your body than simply let it become "out of shape."
What are the causes of obesity?
There is no single thing that "started" childhood obesity. It has, in fact, been around for centuries. Childhood obesity is only more recently becoming much more common. There are two main factors that are likely to be causing this rise. The first is food. Junk food, soda, and unhealthy foods high in fats, sugars, salts, cholesterals, and overall calories are very cheap and easy to come by. These replace healthy, nutritious foods that conatin essential vitamins and minerals that the body requires. This is then combined with a more sedentary lifestyle. Transportation through bus and car has replaced short-distance travel that originally would have been exercise through walking or biking. Less people play or spend time outdoors in favour of watching TV or spending time on the computer. While expending less energy on exercise, children are also consuming more calories. This leads to steady weight gain, which can result in obesity if left unchecked.
