[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of theories here but I think it's a combination of factors. People are pinging in on the theories that illustrate differences between their own childhoods. But everybody grew up differently. I think a lot of the theories too are based on your own biases. The studies show that generally we are taking in about 20% more calories now than we did decades ago. we ate fluffernutters and Twinkies and Stouffer's meals back then; we eat better now, but we eat more. I think therd are also maybe chemical and hormonal imbalances in play, and for childhood obesity, definitely a more sedentary lifestyle. But we adults aren't any more sedentary now than we were.
