The public both eats more today than ever before, and exercises less. I’m no doctor, but maybe it is all this eating more and exercising less that is causing more of the public to be fat and not some sudden change in our genetics, ConnCaroll writes.
Stanford was recently seen on 60 Minutes this year promoting weight loss drugs sold by pharmaceutical companies that advertise on 60 Minutes. The thrust of Lesley Stahl's report was that the federal government should start paying for everyone’s weight loss drugs.Obesity, according to Stanford, isn’t primarily caused by how much people eat or exercise, but genetics. Here is what she told Stahl: “The No. 1 cause of obesity is genetics.
But if genetics is the No. 1 cause of obesity, then why has the public gotten so much fatter in just the last 60 years? According to the CDC, the percentage of the public who are considered obese has risen from 14% in 1960 to over 40% today.Or maybe it is not our genes that have changed but our lifestyles. The public both eats more today than ever before, and exercises less.
Either way, with Stanford on the USDA Dietary Guidelines Committee, I personally am going to throw their results directly into the trash.
