Why are Americans so fat? A new study suggests we've been getting it all
wrong.
.
It's not that we don't exercise enough or spend too much time at the
office, or that good, healthy food is too expensive, researchers reported
Thursday. And it's not about socioeconomic status, race or geography.
.
Rather, the main reason we're getting fatter - all of us - is because we
are surrounded by tasty temptations that cost very little, from fast food
menus to processed snack foods, said the study's lead author, Roland
Sturm, a senior economist at the RAND Corporation and a professor of
policy analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.
.
Up till now, researchers have focused on group differences: between rich
and poor, between those who live states like Colorado and Mississippi, or
between blacks and whites, Sturm said.
.
"But what we've really got to look at is changes over time for everyone,"
he explained. "People aren't becoming obese because they don't have enough
money or because Southern hospitality makes you fat. And they aren't
staying thinner because they live in a mountain state like Colorado. This
is something that cuts across the whole population."
.
Sturm reviewed the all the available research for a study published in CA:
Cancer Journal for Clinicians and concluded that everyone, regardless of
race, ethnicity or socio-economic status, is gaining weight at about the
same rate. His graphs clearly show parallel tracks of increasing flab
among all groups.
.
"If we want to solve the obesity problem, we have to figure out what has
changed for everybody," Sturm said. "And the thing that pops out is our
food environment. That's where the action is. And it's not just that food
is now cheap relative to income it's also that it's so much more
convenient."
