People are just eating a lot of sweets and fast food, which has no nutritional value and is laden with calories. This is also combined with the fact that people are also inactive. Personally, I eat a lot. I’m 5’6 and 130 lbs but most of that food is whole-wheat bread, chicken, rice, milk, fruits and vegetables. I work out, but probably more importantly, I walk everywhere. Even the slimmest and healthiest people indulge in goodies from time to time. It’s in our nature to desire sweet, salty and fatty foods. Food rationing is ridiculous concept because it doesn’t take into account people’s diverse metabolisms and activity levels. An 18-year-old male who is very physically active and has a fast metabolism may need 4000 calories a day. Even when I was doing a very physically active job, I was eating 3400 calories a day. My weight stayed the same, but I dropped a whole dress size. My mom kept complaining that I was eating her out of house and home until my clothes started falling off. I don’t think educating children is necessarily the right course of action. Maybe educating parents. Kids, even teenagers, to a large extent have to eat what they are given. Eating patterns are also set early in life. If one lives in a 3-meals-a-day family, that will be the pattern. I grew up in a snacking family, and I still snack a lot, but generally eat small meals. Obesity isn’t simply the only problem. Some people are skinny-fat. Their metabolisms keep them skinny, but they have bad diets and exercise habits and are still at risk for heart disease and stroke. They have little muscle mass and are still as unhealthy as someone who is 50 lbs overweight I think that the problem with obesity is not necessarily a problem of quantity but of quality.

That doesn't instill a lot of confidence. The thing to do is not drink soft drinks. There are loads of better reasons why they are unhealthy. ∠°) The research is "pre-1975". Nothing new since then?
