Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

Why are people growing larger?

WHY ARE PEOPLE EATING MORE AND GROWING LARGER?
• Americans eat 200 more calories/day today than in the 1970s.
• U.S. Department of Agriculture blames noshing and nibbling.
• Food is cheaper than 80 years ago; restaurant prices are lower; incomes are higher.
• Nature of the workplace – more sedentary jobs today than 50 years ago.
