What are the causes for rising rates of obesity? |
What are the causes for rising rates of obesity? So many factors can be attributed to the rise in obesity, some follow - 1. Fast Food - People no longer take the time a prepare a meal, so when people are on the run, they often don't take the time to count calories or take their time with their meal, this initself leads to overeating. 2. Portion Control - This society is ingrained with the sense that more is better. However, while people want more for their money, they simply lack the understanding that the human body needs far less to operate on. 3. Cheaper Food - With moms and dads working in order to save money, a means of cutting back is to buy cheap food such as macaroni and commercially prepared products. These products use refined sugars and fats to carry flavor, however, they are bad for your health and attribute to weight gain. 4. Video Game Generation - More and more children lead the way in obesity, why? Because they lead a less active lifestyle. Rather then play ball in the yard, they sit glues to the television or video games. While this is evident in children, it is even more evident in adults who choose to "relax" in front of the television, rather then take a walk to the park. Hope this helps.

The film "Supersize Me" does a real good job of explaining the actual serious physical dangers of a bad diet--you can screw up your liver as bad as if you were a lifelong alcoholic! Eating helps people deal with stress. I'm going to say this and piss people off: but I'm not singling out people and I'm not saying this is the case for every one!! PEOPLE ARE LAZY, we like to eat, we don't like to work out!! Its easier to go to MC Donald's and grab a burger than go into a subway and wait in line and have to sit down and eat! Its all about supply and demand, when I'm in a hurry and I'm hungry, id rather grab a double cheeseburger than try to struggle and eat a salad while working or driving etc. I my self have struggled with weight my whole life do to medical problems, but I work out and play hockey and try my best to eat healthy! I do hit up a drive through when I'm in a hurry etc but that is my theory, and once again not saying that this is the case for every one and so on but that is MY opinion!!! |
