what our some major cause of obesity and explain why what you chose is a major cause?

Question

I think fast food is one because of their small food portions that contain large amount of calories and because of this more people consume a great deal of food without feeling full and soon they are hungry again which cause them to eat more.

Answer 1

not being educated enough in what you are eating. the trans fat and junk that our gov. & fda allow to be sold and called food is ridiculous. these poor kids that are huge & having health problems never got a fair chance. they get vidoe games and mcdonalds for there treat. i just got back to the states from costa rica and couldn't believe how healthy and fit the people were. no fast food restaurants anywhere i saw. they are third world and we are the educated ones? we are tricked even by the claims that the food is organic here. one small indgredient in it and they can sell it as organic. you have to almost be a nutrionist and know your supply just to be healthy. you are what you eat is still one of the truest statements.

Answer 2

I think it has a lot to do with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Most "diet" foods are loaded with it.
An overweight America may be fixated on fat and obsessed with carbs, but nutritionists say the real problem is much sweeter -- we're awash in sugar. Not just any sugar, but high fructose corn syrup. Almost all nutritionists finger high fructose corn syrup consumption as a major culprit in the nation's obesity crisis.

Answer 3

Emotional eating...eating because you're pained, bored, watching TV rather than listening to your body and letting "it" tell you when you're hungry and/ or full.

Answer 4

People not knowing how much fats are in they're favorite snacks. All these good-tasting foods are so bad for you, and so many people don't know. That's why they get fat.

Answer 5

People eat to much.

Answer 6

Inactivity, pure and simple.
