      You can’t really know it. I suspect it’s a combination of the two. If you drive everywhere and sit around the rest of the time, you can’t be healthy no matter your diet.

        Obesity is a product of excess caloric intake NOT sedentary lifestyle.

          It is once again, incredibly simplistic view of a very complicated issue, so simplistic it stops being accurate.
