If you are reading this, there is a huge chance that you are fat. (No pun intended). If it's any consolation, over two thirds of adult Americans are overweight or clinically obese. Welcome to the club, the snacks are over there.
An interesting thing about nations of the world is that as they become more developed and rich, the people get fatter. Most developed countries today are filled with fat people, or at least people that could stand to lose a few pounds.
Is there a reason behind all this blubber? Is there a secret cause behind this rotund effect? Why did people get so fat?
For one thing, we don't work as hard as we used to. Most people nowadays can work a pretty easy job, sitting at a desk, taking the elevator up and down, and not even getting up off the couch to change the channel on the TV. So that's one reason we're so fat. We don't get enough exercise.
And another clear reason that so many of us need to put in a heroic effort to button our pants every morning is the stuff we eat day in an day out. Filled with chemicals, preservatives, and other stuff that belongs in laboratory, the food we eat today can't really be all that healthy.
And supposing you head outside for a bite to eat, which is more common, fresh fruit and vegetable stands everywhere, or the golden arches? Yep. And these places are filled with the least nutritious, most fatty foods you can imagine.
What makes it worse, is that when we become hungry, it becomes next to impossible to resist this food. This has nothing to do with willpower. Because our ancestors had to struggle to find food everyday, we humans developed a strong urge to eat everything in sight whenever we get an opportunity. Great strategy if you are a caveman, but no if you pass by a donut shop every morning.
And what about the people behind all this? They make billions and billions every year from selling us crap. Do you think they really care if we get all the associated health problems with being fat, or even cut our lives short by ten or twenty years? Nope, didn't think so.
Some even believe they carefully crafted this whole food system we have today, just so they can make billions of dollars every year. The first part might not be true, but the second part is a fact.
To truly get rid of the fat, and the weight, we must learn to not only resist the junk that is around us, but get up off our behinds and go for a walk once in a while. It will do you a world of good.
