I don't think there is any "main item that causes obesity." I think what causes a lot of obesity is cheap, processed, convenience foods that lack nutritional value—this includes a swath of what we see in stores that sell food that aren't farmer's markets or the like. Targeting and banning soda and sugary drinks for 20% of the population is myopic.
