The magnitude of the obesity epidemic should really give people more pause when imagining simple fixes like this. It's becoming more and more clear that this is not simply a problem of lifestyle, but very likely environmental factors at least as problematic as leaded gasoline was on IQs.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoYes this seems obvious to me too. The whole population just suddenly in the 1970's started eating more and exercising less? And we as a society have no idea what is causing it, and there seems to be no sense of urgency to find out.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoHere's the environmental factor: massive amounts of sugar and syrup. Ban companies from pumping kids with high fructose syrup and sugar. Ban the sale of milk, yogurt, bread, cereal, juice boxes, sodas, and any other foods contaminated with high fructose syrups and sugars. Only then can we actually say we are fighting this weight problem. Everything else is lip service.
