Regarsing obesity, something is going in other than just sedintary lifestyle. My doctor recently told me that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise.
A friend of mine is convinced there are different ingredients in commercial food processing than there was say 50 years ago.
I suspect bread making is one issue and high fructose corn syrup is another culprit.

I think they're both right but I'd modify the doctor's statement, it's about 98% diet and 2% exercise. The 24 hour gyms don't want that put out though, they love to push the idea that somebody who is 100 lbs overweight can pay them $75 a month and exercise themselves thin, it doesn't work that way.
Our modern sugar laden processed food diet is killing us. It doesn't help that pretty much everything taught about nutrition over the last 50 years is completely wrong.
I’ve lived outside the USA for nearly 13 years now and visited Dallas recently.
I can tell you it is the food.
Sugar or worse high fructose corn syrup is added to everything, including bread.
I limit meat. Nit eliminate, but ensure that most of my plate is leafy vegetables, fewer carbohydrates and some protein. Red meat is fine if you don’t go overboard every day.
And more importantly, quit the carbs.
I think if high fructose corn syrup were banned from the American diet we’d see lots less obesity. The stuff is not the same as sugar.
And why the hell is either sugar or HFCS in things like spaghetti sauce or catsup or salad dressing?
