Quote from bigarrow:
Evolution plays a large role. Storing calories as fat helped keep our species alive to hunt another day. We're not wired to have to have self control in our eating.
Quote from blackjack007:
the adult obesity rate in Japan is 4%. The rate in the US in 1950 was 9% (it's 34% now). do you think there's an evolutionary difference between americans now and 60 years ago? I don't think so!!! So why did americans 60 years ago and japanese people today have self-control, but current-day americans don't??
