You're confusing the term cliche with scientific fact. Obesity results from an imbalance between energy consumed in foods and energy burned by metabolic processes and physical activity.Same as it ever was. Same as it will always be.
When I was a kid we ate *more* and what we ate was less healthy than what you see today. Still, obesity was a rare thing.
Yeah, the sedentary lifestyle today is a killer. Michael Phelps consumes 12,000 calories a day when he's in training and his body fat is only about 5%. Kids today don't get enough exercise.
Childhood obesity is now popping up in China and Japan.
Yup. A predictable result when you combine a high energy diet with a sedentary lifestyle.
I predict they will ultimately discover that too much food and too little exercise is the sole cause of about 5% of obesity.
I hope you don't back your predictions with money.

Gad, when that cloud of smug meets the cloud of smug over South Park, we’ll all die.
