[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, everyone has a combination of reasons listed about why they are fat.  It's not as though one single thing is the reason everyone is fat.

The biggest thing is diet though.  Think about it, gyms didn't even exist 50 years ago.  Marathons didn't.  Bike races.  Look at all of the recreational sports we do know that didn't even exist then.  Sure, people tossed around a football or played some baseball, but look at the entire fitness industry that we have now.  The fact that we all shuffle into a gym to work out on machine is just kind of sad to me.

Yes, people did move more in the course of their lives.  People had desk jobs, but they weren't tied to it all day because they had to get up to go talk to co-workers down the hall, go to the file room to get something, etc.  The only reason most office workers now have to get up is to use the restroom.  People didn't just plop down in front of a glowing screen at home all day.  They did stuff.

But that movement cannot compare to an hour doing strenuous exercise that we all do now.  They didn't have to do it.  Which means that it's all diet related.  Smaller portions, little to no sugar.  It comes down to that.  [/quote]
