We already know that our lifestyle is the basis of obesity. Let's start with food. Full of corn syrup (read the labels), misleading advertising about food allow you to choose what you think are healthy options and when you read the label about corn syrup and dangerous oils and cholesterol you feel lied to.
Go to exercise. Why does everyone drive everywhere? When they park they have to be in front of the door. Walking is considered outdated and downright dangerous (TV).
TV , the computer, and video games. Sit on the couch and get your action without breaking a sweat.
Occupations. Desirable occupations allow you to sit at a desk all day.
Lets see now why are we fat. We eat crap,We don't walk, we watch too much TV and spend way too much time on the computer, and we spend our days in sedentary occupations.

My opinion is that portions are rediculously overlarge, people seem to try to finish what is on their plates, rather than take home leftovers and feed a small village with them. I also feel that the budget cuts in schools have lessened the importance of physical education, and kids are more sedentary.

Everybody's metabolism is different but the one thing that has changed through the years is the overabundence of indulgent and fat creting foods. Our forefathers and mothers never made it as big as they come today and that indeed is food for thought.

Because food is plentiful and people are lazy. The 21st century's hobbies (like this one) don't involve any physical exertion.
