Why are they being born fatter? You want my opinion?

I say that American's have haulted Natural Selection. (You know, that through mating, organisms may inherit reccesive traits that give them unique characteristics, and then will pass that trait to thier children. Ie Evolution.)

A Quick example is Medicine. Medicines have allowed many humans to live longer than usual. those that would have died are now living 30 years longer. Medicines haulted a part of Natural Selection. Those that would have survived anyways on't pass their "surviving (reccesive) gene" because they are mating with those that would have died without medicine.

With the Hault of Natural Selection, humans aren't advancing in physique naturally, but instead, through their inventions and creations. Cars haulted humans from gaining stronger legs and feet to match the enviroment. Clothes kept us from passing on recessive gene that may help with our body heat and ammount of hair. Etc.

Just as I think Humans are being born fatter, because either
A.) With all of our creations, recessive genes and traits (like for a fit body) aren't being made.
or maybe
B.) A Recessive gene was actually passed, and through generations, became a trait. (fatness), but wasn't for the better...and with cars, lack of excerise, fast food, and all these inventions that we as man have created...have allowed fatness, once a recessive trait, to become dominant among humans. And thanks to these inventions, which help keep this dominant gene dominant, reccesive traits (to be fit) are not created.
