An interesting article with no conclusions.
The obesity epidemic is a crisis that has only existed for 30 or so years.
But yet we see yet another study looking for biological reasons to blame for us being obese!
Our food chain has been corrupted and our shelves are full of processed foods. We spend all day sitting at desks and driving cars.
Until we change our society we aren't going to fix the obesity crisis.
- jaywalk 4y agoAs a "person of obesity" who sits at a desk all day and doesn't eat the healthiest diet, I 100% agree with this. When I decide to focus on being more active and eating healthier, my weight goes down. Do I have to work a little harder than others? Possibly, but crying about that isn't going to make me less obese.
- bombcar 4y agoDo companies and society promote harmful things that are OK in moderation to me? Debt, soda, sure. Should we reduce that? Sure! But in the end I’m still the one who chooses to fall to temptation.
