11、staurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2.If youre obese, you lack self-control.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poo
12、r dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we cant understand. Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves. 3.Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.Although
13、 the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nations population is overweight or obese.

14、arkets. 4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we dont exercise. Michelle Obamas “Lets Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the
15、 1980s and 1990s. In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.

19、e machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
