Hey, now. I think you already knew that whatever explanations for the trend are out there wouldn't be happy ones.
I'm convinced that the solution, if there is one, will involve someone coming up with a way to keep people healthy that is easier to implement and makes significantly more money than the current binge/purge cycle that makes money, so to speak, coming and going.
Any attempts to engineer it from a behavioral level will fail, as long as people are exposed to advertising. Irresponsible people are easier to exploit; no industry is EVER going to support encouraging people to act responsibly.
