Well there are 3 things that necessarily cause obesity imo.
1. Environment. Face it, we live in a consumer society where healthy foods are expensive and unhealthy are cheap. Big Cooperations want you to buy cheap foods to increase they're revenue and people want to spend as less as they can on food and it still be "tasty" (I personally hate junk food, give me a thing for fresh fruit any day.)
2. The Strange Paradox of the Image Culture. Everything is based on looks now a days. All these skinny idols that barely any of the population can achieve drive some people to feel like they arent good enough because they dont look like that. Therefore they go to step 1 and get something cheap to fill the void.
3. People's Self esteem. Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch. Thats all I hear come out of people's mouthes now a days. People are constantly talking about eachother and that gets everyone down. How sad. People are too receptive of other's criticism and feel the need to comfort themselves by... food? You know I could do an interesting paper on this, food eating as a means of comfort.
I personally could give 2 ****s as to what people say about me and I don't talk **** behind people's backs. Its all about body image and people caring too much now adays. Its quit sad.
