True. The eviroment has changed drastically and things like Chernobyl proved what can happen by man's inventions going sour.

It has been proven though, when the diet of these countries changed, so did thier health.

Garbage in, garbage out. It wouldn't surprise me if our food itself has things in it that we know nothing about. This also the result of enviromental change.

Obesity though, is the result of too much of one thing and not enough of the other; this is a fact. And this imbalance has led to soring medical costs and a pharmacutical industry that's rubbing thier hands together with glee.

The real sad thing is that we lose and we suffer for this, unless we stand up and do something about it.
