Re: Obesity: Why are we getting fat? :epizza:

One thing I don't think that has been mentioned is the Catch 22 situation with regards to exercise and being overweight. The more you put on, the more you have to carry and the less able you are to be able to exercise (bulk to fitness ratio). In such a situation only diet restrictions could be applied, in an attempt to control weight, especially is a reaction to an allergen. I don't know if this obesity problem is viral or not but the grossly overweight condition now being displayed isn't natural food storage, unless it has been triggered by something we don't know about as it doesn't enhance survival because in the wild such people would be easy targets for predators as well as find it difficult to move around and forage for food themselves.
