[quote=CARLOS,256667]Basically, there are two kind of fatness. Some people just get fat, no matter what they eat, other people simply eat themselves fat. Must say that there are people who doesn´t get fat at all.

If someone gets fat although he/she eats quite healthy food, the reason may be found from childhood. If a child is fat, it is quite obvious she/he will be fat as adult. Although child looses weight when grow older, fat cells don´t disappear. They only shrink and wait for fat to be eaten again. When people stop growing, their need for energy gets smaller. If eat more than daily need is, over going energy changes to fat and cells have fiesta then.

Is obesity socially contagious? I´d say partly it is. Chynagyrl is right about parent´s affect to their children. 
Also Guestdaved hits the point, if think about younger peoples; teenagers and young adults. More and more they eat junk food, and they do it together.

Guestdavec,
the problem is not only American, it can be seen all over the world and, no matter how sorry I am, no one can stop it. Otherwise I agree with You.

Parents, don´t feed Your kids fat, keep them thin, they will thank You later.
