It’s a little funny, but I don’t see it as a misstep. It’s probably just a popular (I assume) character who’s associated with fries, and them being realistic in assuming that it’s common knowledge that over-indulging in fast food causes weight gain.

I can’t be the only one that thinks a “french fries association” associating itself with obesity is kind of crazy, right? You’d think they would’ve thought this through better…

They’re in the top 10 for the lowest obesity rate worldwide. An overweight person isn’t someone with a problem there, it’s just someone who knows their food.

Yeah, I was surprised by this too. The character almost always has a box of fries in her hand in the manga, so it makes sense that she is associated with fries. However, like you said, if this is a trade association meant to promote fries, then it is questionable whether this is actually helping.
