This is truly an epidemic! I think that in the fast paced world we live in, it's so much easier to eat processed and packaged foods than to purchase whole foods and prepare them. Of course exercise of some variety is necessary as well. Think back 70+ years ago, before computers and serious desk jobs. Most people worked physical jobs; men farming and ladies, growing gardens for home produce; housework that didn't have the added convenience of the appliances of today, to help you get it done. Movement is necessary to remain physically fit and good nutrition as well. If we go back to basics, things will improve.
