Is obesity more or less prevalent now versus 1991?

Well obviously it's more prevalent. But you don't know what the prevalence would have been had Mars bars not shrunk, ie it could have been worse.

Not that I actually believe that Mars bar size had any meaningful effect, but your rhetorical question is nonsensical.

Not sure what point you are making, it is more prevalent now, but it would be wrong to say this is because mars bars are more expensive and smaller.
