what year did the obesity epidemic begin
Did the Obesity Epidemic Start in the 1950s? Who is to blame for the obesity epidemic? New research is pointing the finger towards reproductive-age women. Thatâs right, what women eat prior to becoming pregnant and throughout their pregnancy and how they raised their babies is thought to be the reason children grow up to become obese. It is believed that this may have started with parents of children born in the 1950s.
