Obesity Caused by Eating Too Much2009-05-24 23:23:00

Stay tuned for next week's earth-shaking study: obesity linked to weight gain
 

 it's worth taking the findings with a grain of salt. When I asked Swinburn whether it was possible that changes in the substance of diet (consuming more highly-processed foods, for instance), or external environmental factors could be blamed, he agreed that while "the most proximal cause is related to the energy we eat and/or the exercise we do...the causes of the causes are then much more complex and include the things you mention." Still, whether there's more at play (doubtless there is), is basically a moot point -- the study may be obvious but the lesson's worth the pounding in. Cut back on this!
