The second article in the series cites a 25% increase in calories consumed during the period where obesity is rising, but then tries to wave that away as inconsequential.
It seems obvious that obesity is the result of the increased caloric intake with secondary effects from the increasingly sedentary lifestyles we all lead.
Environmental toxins might play a tertiary role, but it’s definitely the calories driving most of the obesity issue.
- Y_Y 5y agoIt does seem painfully simple that consuming more energy than you burn/excrete is going to turn you into a sink, and a lot of that surplus energy is going to be stored as fat. (And the opposite process applies when you consume less than you use.) Is this an oversimplification, or is the average education/propaganda/understanding so confused, and so overwhelmed with different nutrition ideas that the wood is being missed for the trees?
