About The North American Obescity Epidemic

More Canadians and Americans than ever are considered to be obese today. This growing problem is decreasing longevity and increasing health care expenses for regional governments and individuals. So why is this occuring?

What has changed? It is difficult to pinpoint the slow, insidious changes to society that have occured to cause the average weight of our citizens to increase, but they can be attributed quite easily (and speculatively) to a number of factors.

Reasons for the Obesity Epidemic

Decline in the quality of our diet: it is not a coincidence that more people appear to eat fast food and other junk food these days. The number of traditional home cooked meals eaten has declined and the number of meals eaten from a fast food outlet or from a box has increased staggeringly. These meals are high in saturated fats, salt and other things that are bad for your health. If we want to see Canadians lose weight, we need to reduce fast food intake.

Less Exercise: in our industrialized and highly automated service society, there is less cause to work in physically demanding jobs. Because of this, there are fewer people getting exercise naturally at work - be it mining or farming.

Additionally, and more troublingly, there are more and more passive entertainment selections in this day and age that distract us from traditional, more healthy exercises. Fewer children are playing basketball on a sunny day as they spend more time indoors on their video games.
