How Did We Get Fat?


Picture

Everyone has an opinion about this subject. There are many reasons for our obesity epidemic. Below, I list ten reasons for the problem. These are not listed in order of priority. They are all significant.
  1. Portion Sizes
  2. Fast Food
  3. Restaurants (it ain't just fast food joints)
  4. Junk Food Availability (every checkout counter)
  5. Sugar Sweetened Beverages (not just Coke and Pepsi)
  6. Lack of Exercise
  7. Sugar (we consume about 170 pounds per year)
  8. Processed Food (just walk down any supermarket aisle)
  9. Dependency on "Low Fat" Food (low fat does not mean low calorie) I always get a kick out of that when visiting my local yogurt store. Every flavor is marked "low fat". Um, what about the sugar and calories?
  10. Perception (we think our current environment is normal - it's not)
