Why are more people overweight these days!

Have you noticed that more and more people are gaining weight easily these days?

What’s up with that!

We DO NOT believe that people are just gluttons. There has to be more to it. We’ve read that as many as 60 to 70% of the population is over weight, 35% are obese. The population in general is probably more sedentary than in the past, even though every time you turn on the TV there is an advertisement for an exercise video. And with all of the TV stations at our disposal, I’m sure people are exercising less and watching television more often.

Yep that’s part of it!

Then of course there’s fast food! Lets examine this more closely.American corporations are notorious for pulling out 99% of the nutrients in food. Could it be that we’re just hungry! Could it be that we are eating more and more to satisfy what the body needs, only to find that the nutrients are not there. Could this lack of nutrients cause us to unconsciously eat even more?

We’ve written about MSG before! It’s in a majority of fast foods and boxed foods. Eating foods containing MSG causes us to crave more of these same foods but leaves us feeling unnourished.
