    Obesity rates are climbing in all western countries. Hostile food environment is a good way to describe it. People are told to blame themselves, eat less exercise more, but our environments are not conducive to it. I read somewhere that our microbiomes have changed and that could be a contributor. I don’t think people 50 years ago had more will power, and plenty of people had sedentary jobs back then too. Who knows.

      exactly, and when I look at how I live, I do a lot of walking, I generally eat healthy , I’m still fat. I make so few mistakes yet the consequences are severe.
