Body fat is energy-rich and at the same time lightweight: when the water is taken out, a gram of fat contains 9. As a consequence, a person with a genetic knack for storing fat would have had a competitive advantage. Power and Schulkin are both researchers at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and they argue that this advantage would have been especially strong for women.
Human infants are unusually portly; among mammals, only hooded seals have a higher percentage of body fat at birth. Presumably, babies need the extra reserves to fuel their oversized brains. Tellingly, humans, unlike most other animals, have no set season of fertility. Thus, there would appear to be a Darwinian argument against obesity as well. Power and Schulkin get around this problem by noting that, as a practical matter, opportunities for eating too much were limited. In fact, human remains from many parts of the world show that early agriculturalists were less well fed than their Paleolithic forebears; their skeletons are several inches shorter and often show signs of nutrition-related diseases, like anemia.
The evolutionary account of obesity is a powerful one—indeed, almost too powerful. If, as Power and Schulkin contend, humans are genetically programmed to put on weight whenever they encounter plenty, it would seem that by this point virtually everyone in America should be fat.
Eric Finkelstein is a health economist at a research institute in North Carolina. Relative to other goods and services, food has got cheaper in the past few decades, and fattening foods, in particular, have become a bargain. Between and , the real cost of fats and oils declined by sixteen per cent. During the same period, the real cost of soft drinks dropped by more than twenty per cent. Kessler, a former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, takes a somewhat darker view of the situation.
The principles of Food Rehab owe a lot to those of drug rehab, except that it is not, as Kessler acknowledges, advisable to swear off eating altogether.
In the early nineteen-sixties, a man named David Wallerstein was running a chain of movie theatres in the Midwest and wondering how to boost popcorn sales. Once Wallerstein introduced the bigger boxes, popcorn sales at his theatres soared, and so did those of another high-margin item, soda.
Customers were purchasing a burger and perhaps a soft drink or a bag of fries, and then leaving. How could they be persuaded to buy more? Kroc pointed out that if people wanted more fries they could always order a second bag. These have convinced him that people are—to put it politely—rather dim.
Instead, they rely on external cues, like portion size, to tell them when to stop. The result is that as French-fry bags get bigger, so, too, do French-fry eaters. Some years ago, Wansink and his graduate students handed out buckets of popcorn to Saturday-afternoon filmgoers in Chicago. The popcorn had been prepared almost a week earlier, and then allowed to become hopelessly, squeakily stale.
Some patrons got medium-sized buckets of stale popcorn and some got large ones. A few, forgetting that the snack had been free, demanded their money back. After the film, Wansink weighed the remaining kernels. In another experiment, Wansink invited participants to cook dinner for themselves with ingredients that he provided.
Will it make you sick? In this video, Dr. Linda Bacon delves into the research and comes up with some surprising results. When you suspend your preconceptions about weight, a very different picture emerges, one where it is the machinery of weight stigma that needs dismantling. The war on obesity is causing untold damage to people of all sizes. By inducing us to invest in so far useless efforts at weight control, it has resulted in rampant preoccupation with food and weight, disordered eating habits and billions in wasted dollars.
This video by Dr. While diet and exercise are two of many factors that matter in our health, even combined they are not the main determinants. In fact, all tolled, health behaviors account for less than a quarter of differences in health outcomes between groups. What is the main determinant? The answer may surprise you. Linda Bacon makes a convincing argument that blaming illness on behaviors and weight stops us from addressing the policies and systems that shape our lives in inequitable and unhealthy ways.
The real crisis lies in the toxic stigma placed on certain bodies and the impact of living with inequity—not the numbers on a scale.
