Well the biggest reason people put on weight is because they don't understand how calories work from a lack of education, which is why poor people and immigrants generally become the most overweight. People who don't speak English well won't run into scientific articles that talk about calories, so they aren't even thinking about the subject.
- anu7df 11y agoMost people don't understand calories as it relates to their food intake. However lack of education has very little to do with it. Just look at all the comments in this thread. The things that can be said to be true are: Thermodynamics is correct.. People consuming same amount of food may end up absorbing different calories from it. They also may burn calories at slightly different rates. This is all very helpful but not a plan to control weight. Poor people (anecdotal) have less time to cook healthy meals and hence end up eating calorie dense fast food. PS: edit . typo. Grammer. Phone..
