Obesity rates in the world’s children and adolescents increased from less than 1% (equivalent to five million girls and six million boys) in 1975 to nearly 6% in girls (50 million) and nearly 8% in boys (74 million) in 2016. Combined, the number of obese five to 19 year olds rose more than tenfold globally, from 11 million in 1975 to 124 million in 2016. An additional 213 million were overweight in 2016 but fell below the threshold for obesity.

perhaps they are overeating but I don’t even know how that works for like little kids
I think its the huge amount of fake stuff. Everything comes in plastic and cardboard. Bread used to only last a day or two when the bakery made it. Now they put a whole bunch of chemicals in it to make it last two months. Can’t be good.
We used to eat almost zero seed oils. Now almost everything has seed oil in it. Almost all packaged foods. Its a highly processed food.
