Section C
In the U. S. A, thirty percent of the adult population
has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is
obvious--they eat too much. But scientific evidence does
not support this idea. Going back to the America of
1910,
we find the people were thinner than today. Yet they ate
more food. In those days, people worked harder
physically,
walked more, used machines much less, and did not watch
television. Several modem studies have shown that fatter
people do not eat more than thinner people. In fact,
some investigations report that the fat people eat less
than thinner people. Recently, a study of research group
found the following interesting fact--thinner people are
more active than fatter people. Therefore, those who
exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large
amount of body
fat.
11. About how many adult Americans have the "weight
problem"?
