Diet Obesity Blame
June 27, 2006
UNDATED (AP) _ There's the obvious reason why so many people are fat and facing the problem of obesity. And then there are the ones that might not spring to mind.
But researchers have come up with some novel ideas. And a new report packages them nice and neat, like a bag of chips.
Some of the possible reasons for all the weight gain in recent years include a lack of sleep. Several studies link the two. There's also air conditioning, which limits the number of calories you can burn while sweating. And yet another possibility is that fat people are mating with one another, creating chubby kids.
But not everyone's amused. A nutrition professor at New York University says all these theories do is try to get people to stop worrying about having to eat less and exercise more.
