Oh horseshit. People choose to eat what they do. Using the excuse of it being available is nonsense. Nobody is force feeding their fatasses.
hey bro what percentage of the population do you think was obese in the early to late 1800's in north america?
'italian lifter' had it right. when you got to cook the food, or grow the crops, and not rolling thru mcdonalds for .99 big macs its a vastly different story.
kids are growing up fat because of this, and are becoming fatter adults.
i feel income bracket/ societal hierarchy is prolly another reason too. id be willing to bet the vast majority of obese people earn less money than those who are not obese, given all other factors being equal.
