[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 76060192, member: 326155"] It's never just one thing happening. A more sedentary lifestyle isn't even the major thing. People can't exercise their way out of a bad diet. The food supply itself is different. Not even baloney today is the same baloney of 30 years ago. Fifty years ago, a McDonald's hamburger was made from locally sourced, grass-fed beef. Today, food is designed to induce more eating, at the least cost, with less real nutrition, and zero concern for long-term effects. Eating patterns are different--how often during the day a person ingests calories counts. Fifty years ago, people ingested calories only three or four times a day; today people commonly ingest calories every waking hour. Lifestyles and working patterns are different, and those count. Eating while under stress is conducive to fat storage; that happened far less often years when business didn't allow people to eat at their desks than today. The pundits are currently touting the "Mediterranean Diet." Well, beyond discerning which Mediterranean Diet they may be talking about (Spanish? Italian? Greek? Egyptian?)--[I]there is always more than one thing happening![/I] Even if a person in America tried to eat a "Mediterranean Diet," he would still get fat if he's sourcing American foods and still living an American lifestyle (which is more than exercise). Most people living on the Med don't, for instance, eat at their desks, being under stress, and they don't ingest calories every waking hour (which includes sugary coffees and sodas). More often, they go home or take long lunches, having plenty of time to decompress, laugh with friends and family, et cetera, during meals. Eating under stress is a particularly bad problem. Americans tend to use food to comfort stress...which is the precisely wrong thing to do. What we need to do is what Jesus prescribed: Prayer (meditation for you secular folk) and fasting. Don't eat under stress, skip eating and meditate. [/QUOTE]
