Overconsumption - A Possible Root Cause
Eating too many calories for our enery needs must be a major candidate for the main cause of the
modern obesity epidemic. According to Dr. Marion Nestle, Professor and Chair of the Department of
Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University, US agribusiness now produces 3,800 calories of
food a day for every American, 500 calories more than 30 years ago — but at much lower per-calorie
costs. Increases in consumption of calorie-dense foods, as evidenced by the growth of fast-food
chains and higher soft drink consumption, also point to a higher energy-intake.

Eating Too Many High-Fat or Refined Sugary Foods
The type of food eaten may also play an important role in the rise of obesity. Researchers continue to
discover more metabolic and digestive disorders resulting from overconsumption of trans-fats and
refined white flour carbohydrates, combined with low fiber intake. These eating patterns are known to
interfere with food and energy metabolism in the body, and cause excessive fat storage. Associated
health disorders include insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes as well as obesity. Incidence of these
"modern" diseases is increasing worldwide.
Reduced Energy Expenditure - A Possible Root Cause
People who eat more calories need to burn more calories
otherwise their calorie surplus is stored as fat. For example, if we eat 100 more food calories a day
than we burn, we gain about 1 pound in a month. That’s about 10 pounds in a year. Over two decades
this energy surplus causes a weight gain of 200 pounds!
Assessing the contribution of lack of exercise to obesity
Assessing the contribution of lack of exercise to obesity is hampered by lack of research. According to
existing surveys, only 20 percent of the population are frequent exercisers. In addition, only a small
minority of children (1 in 5) regularly participate in after-school sports or extra-curricular physical
activity. Since 1990, among adults there has been a per capita decline of 15 percent in frequent
exercise activity (100+ days per year in any one activity). Among teenagers and adolescents aged 12-
17, the plunge is 41 percent.

Recently, medical experts have emphasised the importance of waist-measurement
as an independent predictor of ill-health. This is because abdominal fat (fatty tissue stored around the stomach
and abdomen) has been linked to an increased risk of serious disease. In other words, it's no longer simply a
question of how much extra fat you have on your body: where this excess fat is located is also relevant.
