I spent Saturday with my wife at her company picnic. I was truly shocked to see how fat people are. I'm not the type to exaggerate, but I'd have to say that 80% of the women were obese. Not just a little fat, but 50-100 pounds overweight.
It puzzles me...what are we doing as a society to get so big? Since I'm a trainer I wonder what am I doing wrong, or what is my industry doing wrong in that people just keep getting fatter.
I hear the common answers like...too much time sitting down in front of the computer/games/T.V. etc. Of fast food is cheap and calorie laden. People don't have the time, and so on.
In looking at nature I see lean, efficient predators, and even the prey is quick, muscular, and at one with their bodies.
This all just seems to go against nature. Call it God, or what ever you believe in, but I can't imagine that our creator created us to be obese and crippled by our fat and those diseases associated with being obese.
What's your opinion? Any ideas on why we are so fat?
