I think the recent recognition that one in five children in the United States is overweight has raised the awareness of nutrition. As a society, we have become more inactive. Our environment has us sitting more, whether it is in front of the television, at our desk, on our job, in the classroom or at our computers. We now have to figure out how to turn that around. You are correct.
Fuel does make the body grow and go.
For many hundreds of years, we didn't have cars, computers, or televisions. We didn't have the convenience foods and the canned and processed foods that we have now. I think these luxuries have become a detriment. We didn't have television to market foods to us. We didn't get the huge portions that we now receive in restaurants.
