Obesity

I am currently taking ANT319 called Human growth and development. Last week we were learning about Obesity and I found some interesting infromation and I thought to share it with my class. Obesity depends on SocioEconomic Status(SES). Children of high SES has more subcutaneous fat than low SES. It represents the under nutrition among low SES groups and over nutrition and Obesity in high SES groups. The main factors that contribute to the Obesity are food which are cheap now and abudant and excercise are expensive now. Among food, fats and sugars are chaep and fruits and vegetables are expensive too. Excercise costs time and often money to excercise. I completely agree with it. If exercising wasn't that much expensive, most of the obese people can go to gyms and try to lose their weights. Since most of the Obese people are poor, they can't afford to go to gyms. Another thing we can do is that make cheap food little bit more expensive or make it healthier. So people can atleast eat some healthy food.
