If you have a weight problem, you aren’t alone. Fully two thirds of adult Americans share your same condition. Many of us struggle on a daily basis with this very issue.

Not to mention all the other health problems that come along with being overweight. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a host other problems which can be directly related to weight issues.

So why are we so fat? Were Americans always fat or is it just a recent thing? If you took a look back a hundred years or so, you’d notice that very few people were fat back then. What was different?

The first is lifestyle difference. People back then had to work a physically difficult job. Only people that were extremely lucky got jobs where they could sit around all day like most of us do today. People back then really worked up a sweat, every day, for eight hours a day.

And even those among us that can find the motivation to hit the gym once or twice a week, the workout is not nearly as strenuous as people’s eight hour a day jobs of a hundred years ago.

The second, and much more complicated reason is that the food we eat today is vastly different than the food we ate a hundred years ago. Before, most of the food people at was very fresh, and grown locally.

Today, most of the food we eat is mass produced, and filled with chemicals and preservatives. This is not good for our bodies.

The problem is, we have little choice in the food we eat on a regular basis. Finding fresh, locally grown food is not only difficult, but extremely expensive if you can find a natural grocer nearby.

Restaurant food, fast food, and even most of the foods you buy at your local supermarket are filled with chemicals and junk that is just not healthy. And this can cause all kinds of problems to your digestive system.

So it’s no wonder that more of us aren’t even fatter than we already are. With little or no exercise, virtually no choice in the food that is available to us, we are left with little hope of becoming thin and healthy without a heroic effort on our part.

The biggest scam is that there are corporations and companies that make billions of dollars every year selling you food that makes you fat and unhealthy.

Only by discovering how to eat healthy, non processed food, and purge your system of the remnants of the unhealthy chemicals that you’ve been fed, can you hope to have a thin and healthy life.
