[i]A new study finds that people today who eat and exercise the same amount as people 20 years ago are still fatter...[/i]

Something is definitely up with our food supply.

I watch my diet pretty stringently here in the States -- no grain, no starch, no sugar -- because otherwise I'd be thirty pounds heavier.

And then I go to Europe on holiday and eat ALLL the grains, starch, and sugar -- sometimes while on road trips, so no walking or real exercise -- and I come back a couple of pounds [i]lighter.[/i]

I don't know what, exactly, but there's something very, very bad in our food supply.[/quote]

Unless they used some sort of tracking device to monitor activity, I’m skeptical of their measurements. It’s impossible to accurately report your activity level based on a guess. And now people are much more sedentary due to our devices and the internet. In 1980, you watched what was on TV, and if there wasn’t anything on, your turned off the TV and did something with yourself. Now we sit like zombies in front of screens for the vast majority of each day. [/quote]
