Who's To Blame For The Obesity Epidemic?

Allow me a rant:


Are you blaming yourself for being overweight? Don’t. It’s not your fault.


You grew up in schools that trained you to like processed foods.


You followed medical guidelines that told you to eat more carbs.


You followed government guidelines that told you to avoid healthy fats.


Are we going to blame you for the fact that 70% of grocery store shelves are stocked with processed food?


Is it your fault that companies manufacture addictive foods specifically designed to make you lose control?


Are you to blame for a government that subsidizes sugar manufacturers instead of fruit and vegetable growers? Or an advertising industry that floods the market with processed food ads?


If you’re overweight, it ain’t your fault. You’re living in a system designed to make you fat.


Yeah, personal responsibility enters into it, but it’s a little like somebody strapping cement blocks on your back, throwing you into the ocean and saying you have a personal responsibility not to drown.

Okay, got THAT off my chest.  Now let's look at some studies that back up my claims:


The reality is that the obesity epidemic is not solely a result of individual choice and personal responsibility. There are numerous societal and systemic factors at play that contribute to the rise in obesity rates.


Food Environment


The food environment plays a significant role in shaping our dietary choices by influencing the availability, accessibility, and affordability of different types of food. Research has shown that access to healthy food options is often limited in low-income neighborhoods, also known as food deserts.


  • A study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that low-income individuals living in food deserts have a higher risk of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases due to limited access to healthy food options. (Kim et al., 2011)


  • A study by the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that individuals living in food deserts have lower intake of fruits and vegetables and higher intake of energy-dense foods, which increases their risk of obesity and chronic diseases. (Morland et al., 2002)


  • A study by the Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition found that the availability of healthy food options in a neighborhood is positively associated with fruit and vegetable consumption among low-income individuals. (Cubbin et al., 2010)


  • A study by the Journal of Public Health found that the availability of supermarkets in a neighborhood is positively associated with diet quality among low-income individuals, while the availability of convenience stores is negatively associated with diet quality. (Lin et al., 2012)


  • A study by the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that individuals living in food deserts have limited access to physical activity facilities, which further increases their risk of obesity and chronic diseases. (Dowd et al., 2009)


The food environment clearly plays a significant role in shaping our dietary choices by influencing the availability, accessibility, and affordability of different types of food. The research cited above supports the idea that low-income individuals living in food deserts are at a higher risk of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases due to limited access to healthy food options.

We’re Inundated With Food Industry Ads


The food industry plays a significant role in the obesity epidemic we are currently facing. By heavily marketing and promoting processed foods, they are contributing to individual obesity in a number of ways. Through a variety of marketing tactics, the food industry is able to influence the food choices of individuals, leading to overconsumption of unhealthy foods and ultimately, weight gain.


One study, published in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing in 2011, found that children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to food advertising. The study found that children who were exposed to more food advertising consumed more calories and had a higher body mass index (BMI) than those who were exposed to less advertising (Grier and Kumanyika, 2011). This highlights the power of food advertising to influence the food choices of young people, who are already at a higher risk for obesity.


Another study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013, found that the more food advertising a person was exposed to, the more likely they were to choose high-calorie foods (Swinburn et al., 2013).


This study also found that the more food advertising a person was exposed to, the less likely they were to choose healthier options. This suggests that food advertising not only leads to overconsumption of unhealthy foods, but also to a decreased consumption of healthier options.


Additionally, a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science in 2016, found that food companies are increasingly using emotional appeals in their advertising, such as promoting the idea that certain foods will bring happiness and satisfaction, to drive sales (Kardas et al., 2016). This type of advertising is particularly effective in promoting unhealthy foods and can make it difficult for individuals to resist the urge to indulge in them.


A study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity in 2018 found that the food industry is also contributing to obesity by making unhealthy foods more accessible and convenient than healthier options (Thorndike et al., 2018).


This study found that unhealthy foods, such as fast food and convenience store snacks, are often located in areas with high foot traffic, making them more visible and easily accessible than healthier options. This can lead to individuals making impulse purchases of unhealthy foods and overconsumption.


Lastly, a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2020, found that food companies are using deceptive marketing tactics to promote unhealthy foods as healthier options (Nestle, 2020).


This study found that food companies often use misleading labels, such as "low-fat" or "organic", to make unhealthy foods appear healthier than they actually are. This can make it difficult for individuals to make informed decisions about their food choices and ultimately contribute to obesity.


The food industry plays a significant role in the obesity epidemic we are currently facing. By heavily marketing and promoting processed foods, they are contributing to individual obesity in a number of ways.


Through a variety of marketing tactics, such as targeting children and adolescents, emotional appeals, making unhealthy foods more accessible and convenient, and using deceptive marketing tactics, the food industry is able to influence the food choices of individuals and ultimately contribute to weight gain.

Government Policies & Subsidies Promote Unhealthy Food


Government policies and subsidies play a significant role in shaping the food environment and influencing food choices, ultimately impacting the obesity epidemic.


For example, the government has long subsidized the production of corn, wheat, and soybeans, which are used to make processed foods such as high-fructose corn syrup and vegetable oils. This has led to a surplus of these crops and a corresponding decrease in the cost of processed foods, making them more accessible and cheaper for consumers.


 In contrast, fruits and vegetables, which are more expensive to produce, receive less government support. 


This results in a food environment that is heavily skewed towards processed foods and away from fresh produce, making it more difficult for consumers to make healthy food choices.


This is supported by a study by (Nord, et al., 2005) which found that lower-income households spend a greater proportion of their income on food and have less access to supermarkets, making them more likely to rely on convenience stores and fast food restaurants which offer a limited selection of healthier food options. The study also found that these households have a higher consumption of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods and a lower consumption of fruits and vegetables.


Another area where government policies and subsidies have an impact on obesity is in the area of marketing and advertising. The food industry spends billions of dollars on advertising and marketing, particularly targeting children and adolescents. This has been shown to influence food preferences and consumption patterns, leading to a higher consumption of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods.


A study by (Cullen, et al., 2019) found that children and adolescents who were exposed to more food advertising had a higher intake of energy-dense foods and a lower intake of fruits and vegetables. The study also found that these children were more likely to be overweight or obese.


Government policies and subsidies also play a role in shaping physical activity environments. For example, policies that promote urban sprawl and car-dependent communities make it more difficult for individuals to engage in physical activity. 


A study by (Sallis, et al., 2009) found that individuals living in suburban and rural areas had lower levels of physical activity compared to those living in urban areas. The study also found that individuals living in areas with higher levels of neighborhood design attributes, such as sidewalks and street connectivity, had higher levels of physical activity.


Lastly, government policies and subsidies have an impact on the availability and affordability of healthy food options. Policies that support the development of farmers' markets and community gardens can increase access to fresh produce in low-income communities. A study by (Franz, et al., 2007) found that individuals living in low-income communities with access to farmers' markets had a higher intake of fruits and vegetables compared to those living in communities without access to farmers' markets.

Society Is Designed To Make Us Couch Potatos


One of the key studies that has been conducted on this topic is the "Physical Activity and Weight Gain Prevention" study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1999.


This study found that individuals who are physically active are less likely to gain weight than those who are not active. The study also found that the amount of physical activity needed to prevent weight gain is moderate, and that even small amounts of physical activity can have a significant impact on weight.


Another study, conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine, found that individuals who are physically active have a lower risk of becoming obese than those who are not active. The study also found that physical activity can help to reduce the risk of obesity even in individuals who are already overweight or obese.


In addition to these studies, research conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) has also found that physical inactivity is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. The WHO states that physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, and that it is responsible for around 3.2 million deaths per year.


The reason why lack of physical activity contribute to obesity is that, when we don't move our body, the energy intake exceeds the energy expenditure leading to energy storage in the form of body fat, which increases the body weight. This is supported by a study conducted by the University of Missouri, which found that sedentary behavior, such as sitting for long periods of time, can contribute to weight gain and obesity.


Finally, a study conducted by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that a lack of physical activity is a major contributing factor to the obesity epidemic, particularly among children. The study found that children who are physically active are less likely to become overweight or obese than those who are not active.


Clearly, the lack of physical activity in our modern lifestyle is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. This has been supported by a number of academic studies, including the "Physical Activity and Weight Gain Prevention" study, the American College of Sports Medicine study, the World Health Organization research, the University of Missouri study, and the American Journal of Preventive Medicine study.

The obesity epidemic is not solely a result of individual choice and personal responsibility. The food environment, government policies, and lack of physical activity all play significant roles in shaping our dietary choices and contribute to the rise in obesity rates. It is important to recognize and address these systemic issues in order to effectively address and combat the obesity epidemic.

The Pegan Diet: A Weight Loss Diet Plan For Men?

By Michael Alvear • March 17, 2023
The Pegan Diet A Weight Loss Diet Plan For Men? If you're looking to make some changes to your diet in the new year, you may have heard about the Pegan diet. This is a relatively new way of eating that combines aspects of both the paleo and vegan diets. Created by Dr. Mark Hyman, this diet has been selling like hotcakes since it was released last year. So what is the Pegan diet all about? And is it right for you? In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the Pegan diet and see if it might be a good fit for your needs. The Pegan diet is based on the premise that the best way to eat is to focus on whole, unprocessed foods. This means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as lean protein sources and healthy fats. Processed foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbs are off-limits on this diet. One of the key aspects of the Pegan diet is that it is plant-based. This doesn't mean that you have to become a vegan, but rather that you should base your meals around plants. Fruits and vegetables should make up 75% of your plate, with the remaining 25% coming from animal products like meat, poultry, fish, or eggs. Another important aspect of the Pegan diet is that it is grain-free. This means that you will need to find alternative sources of carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, squash, and leafy greens. One of the benefits of the Pegan diet is that it can help you lose weight. This is because it focuses on whole, unprocessed foods that are low in calories but high in nutrients. This type of eating can help to reduce your overall calorie intake and lead to weight loss over time. Another advantage of the Pegan diet is that it can help to improve your overall health. This is because it includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Eating a variety of these nutrient-rich foods has been linked with a reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. So, should you try the Pegan diet? If you're looking to improve your health and lose weight, then this may be a good option for you. However, it's important to speak with your doctor or registered dietitian before making any major changes to your diet. They can help you determine if the Pegan diet is right for you and make sure that you are getting all the nutrients you need.

Does Your Weight Loss Plan Have Portion Size Guidelines?

By Michael Alvear • March 14, 2023
Does Your Weight Loss Plan Have Portion Size Guidelines? While all weight loss programs will tell you what foods should be included in the diet, few offer tips about controlling those pesky hunger pangs and cravings with smaller serving sizes. Losing weight is hard enough, but when you're constantly fighting your own body it can seem impossible. Many people struggle with portion control as much as their food choice, So it's important that your weight loss plan gives you strategies on portion control. This is a lot easier said than done because portions have grown astronomically over the years. Just as a quick example, the standard portion size for potato chips used to be half an ounce. Today it's a full ounce. Think about that. A regular portion of potato chips is now 100% bigger than it was just a few years ago. We’ve become habituated to big portion sizes. We are the Super-Size Me culture. If your weight loss plan doesn't have well, a plan to combat what scientists call the portion size affect, then you don't have much of a chance of achieving sustainable weight loss. Overeating can easily sabotage any diet plan. Knowing how to reduce your portion sizes is critical for weight loss. It's a two-step process. First you have to understand what a normal size portion is for a food, given your sex, age, and weight. Often, you cannot rely on packaging labels to give you an accurate portion size. See our potato chip example above. Second, the weight loss plan should have a strategy to get you from Big portions and normal sized portions. once the body has habituated to large portion sizes it will be extremely difficult to Simply start eating 50% less what you normally eat. Any weight loss plan that doesn't recognize that you have to step-ladder your way down to a normal-sized portion is not going to be very helpful.

Find a Weight Loss Program That Fits Into Your Social Life

By Michael Alvear • March 7, 2023
Find a Weight Loss Program That Fits Into Your Social Life When it comes to choosing a weight loss program , many people don't think about how it will impact their social life. It's important to consider the rules of the program and how easy it is to comply with them outside the home. For example, if you're on a diet that doesn't allow you to eat out at restaurants, but you often go out with friends or colleagues, then the diet isn't going to be very sustainable. Make sure you choose a weight loss program that fits into your lifestyle! Also, consider how your friends and family will react to your new diet. Will they be understanding or will it cause tension in relationships? How will your partner react when they spend hours baking a fattening cake you refuse to eat? How awkward will you feel when you go out to eat with your boss and a main client and you refused the communal aspects of dining because it doesn't fit the diet plan? Imagine going to a family event and you can't eat anything on the picnic table because it doesn't fit your diet plan. no matter how well you explain your weight loss journey there are bound to be people you think you're being a passive-aggressive snit and that you’re obsession with thinness is more important than your place in the family. It's important to communicate with loved ones about your weight loss journey and work together to find a program that works for everyone. Don't let a restrictive diet ruin your social life - choose a weight loss program that fits into your lifestyle and relationships. In the end, it's important to remember that weight loss is a journey and finding the right program may take some trial and error. Don't be afraid to switch programs or make adjustments if something isn't working for you or affecting your social life in a negative way. Stay focused on your goals and find a weight loss program that fits into your lifestyle and relationships. Good luck on your journey!

Choosing a Flexible Weight Loss Program That Includes Your Partner or Family

By Michael Alvear • February 21, 2023
How Inclusive Is The Weight Loss Program You’re Considering? When considering a weight loss program, it's important to think about how it will fit within your family dynamic. Restrictive, individualized diets like keto may not be feasible for households with a range of dietary preferences and needs. Instead, look for programs that offer an inclusive approach, with options and flexibility for all family members to participate. In addition to being easier to sustain long-term, a household-friendly diet can also have added benefits such as improved communication and bonding over meal planning and preparation. So before signing up for a weight loss program, consider how it will work for the whole family. For example, eating keto is doable for an individual but not for a family. Mos t diet plans for weight loss aren't typically designed for groups of people. They're more like an every-man (or woman)-for-himself scenario. Inevitably, these plans leave their families behind. When only one family member is dieting, compliance can be difficult. It's easier to fall off the wagon when everyone else is digging into their favorite food, and you're stuck with a prepackaged meal. If you live with a partner or a family, it's important to pick a family-friendly weight loss plan. There are two things you should look for: Flexibility A good weight loss program will be flexible enough to accommodate different preferences, budgets, and tastes. It shouldn't be so restrictive that everyone in your family is left feeling deprived; instead, it should offer a variety of healthy options that everyone can enjoy. Simplicity A good weight loss program will be simple enough that you don't need a degree in nutrition to follow it. All of the guesswork should be taken out of meal planning, so you can focus on enjoying time with your family instead of stressing over what to make for dinner. When it comes to weight loss, one size definitely does not fit all. That's why it's important to choose a program that takes individual preferences and budgets into account. A good weight loss program should offer a variety of healthy options, and shouldn't be overly restrictive or complicated. Meal planning should be easy and stress-free, allowing you to spend more time with your family and less time worrying about what to eat. By finding a flexible and customizable program, you can successfully achieve your weight loss goals without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.
