Abstract

The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in the last two decades, especially among ethnic minorities and the poor. Given that human physiology and genetics have changed little during that time, the explanation must lie in reduced physical activity or altered eating habits. Although the mainstream of obesity research continues to focus on genetic, metabolic, and physiological factors in weight gain, the obesity epidemic is most likely caused by a profound change in dietary behaviors. A Changes in the global food supply also plays a important part. Taste and palatability are among the key influences on food choice. The best tasting and most palatable foods are often those that provide the maximum amount of energy per unit weight. Currently, there is no convincing evidence to link obesity with specific macronutrient appetites. Although obesity is blamed on excessive consumption of fast foods or carbonated soft drinks, no study has shown that obese persons have a selective appetite for either sugar or fat. It may be that obesity is associated with an appetite for energy dense foods, whatever their nutrient content may be. Far from being an abnormality or a disease, obesity may represent an adaptive response to the current environmental conditions.
