In developed societies, obesity is spreading very rapidly, so much so that we speak of an epidemic. There are more obese families and even entire populations are threatened.
The United States has experienced in fifty years a very rapid increase of obesity and overweight (for 60% of adults), and even children and adolescents are at risk. This phenomenon has now reached Europe, Asia and most developing countries.
The cause of obesity is the change in eating behavior, itself caused by changes in the food industry. The food supply is abundant and the cheapest foods are also rich in calories. The model food rich in sugars and fats is dominant at the expense of traditional models that gave more importance to plants.
