Public Enemy No. 1 in America's battle of the bulge isn't cupcakes, soda or double bacon cheeseburgers.
It's the simple potato, according to Harvard University researchers.
Daily consumption of an extra serving of spuds — French fries, crispy chips, mashed with butter and garlic, or simply boiled or baked — was found to cause more weight gain than downing an additional 12-ounce can of a sugary drink or taking an extra helping of red or processed meats.

今日の単語、"bulge"とは出っ張り、膨らみという意味ですが、言ってみれば腹や尻についた余計な脂肪のことです。
“でっぱら”(出腹)という表現がぴったりではないでしょうか。
