It comes down to simple math, when you consume more calories then you use you gain weight. Highly processed food is nowhere as filling as real food (grains fruits vegetables). The additives put into cheep highly processed foods along with the highly suggestive advertising, makes them quite addicting. This year schools have started to overhaul the crap they serve as school lunch and the kids have gone into rebellion, just like a bunch of addicts being denied their fix. To say junk food is not to blame people have to just use it more responsibly is like telling an Alcoholic to learn how to drink like a gentleman! You need to take the addictive substance out of the equation and teach people how to eat properly again, how fruit really tastes much better then candy. The number one cause of obesity in the country today is the governments subsidies of corn and soy products. To even hint that a cold virus is to blame for the current health crisis in the country is almost unpatriotic.Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679606913174361238noreply@blogger.com
