From where Why is everyone becoming obese?

Question

I went to the hospital today and everyone had a big belly, especially men. It's the same in other places too. Every time I go out, I see people's big belly. Why doesn't anyone do sports?

sports isn't what makes you slim. not eating more calories than you're spending makes you slim. like even the most fit of the fit like for example strongman athletes only eat 4000 calories in a day. that's cause they burn 2000 calories in a day. and burning 2000 calories in a day is absolutely not reasonably achievable for most people that have a full time job. however just eating a burger menu at mc donalds can add 2000 calories to your intake in one meal a day. so that's where obesity comes from. oveating, not the lack of sport.

don't get me wrong. lack of sport generates a whole host of different health issues but obesity is 90% a diet problem.

Because people are becoming less active and more lazy , especially with technology advancing and consuming a lot of peoples’ time , everywhere I go , I see people face planted on their phones , people act like it’s the end of the world if their phone breaks or they lost signal , like how are they going to survive without it? . On top of that are food supply is garbage , with all the hormones and shit they inject into our food supply. that is making people gain weight as well. On top of that a lot more people are smoking Marijuana because it’s being legalized and what does Marijuana do? Gives you the munchies lol Welcome to America

it's because in the 1980s companies started using high fructorse corn syrup and other lovely things in most of our foods that make us addicted and ignore hunger signals. also the relentless lobbying big corps have started doing back around that time to push their highly prorcessed high calorie nutritionally void food on us. combined with us moving and exercising less and less because of the internet. that all together created the obesity epidemic, who is only getting worse and worse

They all are eating my cakes and other confections at my bakery. 😵

OneViewpoint · Answer

It's not solely exercise. But the internet hasn't helped with that. Here in the US, it's a processed food industry and fast food industry that sells horrible foods at cheap prices. Generally these foods are engineered around 3 cheap ingredients, salt, fat, and sugar. And when I say engineered, I mean science is actually being applied to make these foods as addictive as possible. It works. People trust that the crap is OK to live on. It's not just obesity. Diabetes and heart disease almost always follow.

AviatorTom · Answer

People eat processed food and are less active than ever.

It all starts when young. Today, many kids spend hours sitting in front of a screen playing video games. Not that many years ago, they would have been outside, running around, playing games with their friends.

Were they young or middle-aged? People likely don't participate in sports as much as before because of their slammed schedules, but the proliferation of junk food "palaces" has made for the surfeit of bloated bellies and run amok rears. (There's seemingly a McDonald's, Tim Horton's, poutine and other fast food place on every corner here in Windsor, thus most of us lasses and lads are, well, chubby, to put it mildly.)

Twalli · Answer

Food is getting less healthy, and the cheaper food is the least healthy. As for sports, most people can't do it for a variety of reasons. I was staying in shape by tae kwon do before COVID-19 hit. Now I'm trying to get back in shape, but it's hard to do.

Shiprex · Answer

It's because so many people consume baby cow products in the form of cheese, milk, yoghurt and almost all types of potato crisps/chips (check the ingredients for milk protein) which is a food for baby cows to turn them from 60kg babies into 600kg infants in the space of about 18months. SO quit eating animal stuff unless you're chasing it naked through the forests and eating it raw as nature intended that kind of lifestyle.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I think it's emotional eating. People are miserable in general and they turn to food as one of their few pleasures. They're also ignorant to how dangerous that kind of weight gain is.

When I exercise daily I still get belly fat. Same when I eat healthy. Lifestyle and sleep matter more than what we think. If I mover more often, and I sleep better, it's when I get slimmer.

The woman i love Danielle always said you shouldn't talk about other people's bodies and appearances and if you can't say something kind about someone you shouldn't say anything at all because you never know what someone is going through. (Yeah she taught me that)

StephanieChick111 · Answer

Poor choices in food, Lack of exercise, etc.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, nobody gets any physical exercise. Kids sit and play video games all day. Parents drive their kids everywhere. Fast food is the norm instead of the exception.

I don't think everyone is coming obese, just that everyone that YOUVE come across are. by the way what area are you from?

TrimmedTip · Answer

Junk food’s convenient, screens keep us sedentary, and stress-eating is real. Solution? Small wins: walk more, cook sometimes, and remember—health isn’t ‘all or nothing.’ Progress > perfection. 💪

talka20 · Answer

Just big belly as compared to rest of the body can be bec of stress

Anonymous · Answer

Poor convenient food options, overly processed food everywhere. Two-income households come home from work and neither want to cook a homemade meal. I'm sure there are other reasons but those are some big ones.

Xawyx-2 · Answer

I wonder the same, people should workout more.

TallAnon · Answer

It's a cultural thing, the things we do, the way we live and the things we eat and drink; The more obese you get, the worse it feels to work out too.

@red-lipstick-girl You are singing to the choir! I see it every day, and wonder WHY?

WonderingManII · Answer

I think it happens because life is stressful. People get tired of trying to constantly burn off the fat.

The problem is more complicated than just doing sports. It's a major societal issue. Juvenile diabetes has skyrocketed, as well as other problems, like gaming.
