Description

When you hear about the rise in obesity acrose the last 40 or 50 years, you may often hear talk about about how it's driven by an energy mismatch, where we just eat more than we should and don't move as much as we used to. Or maybe you hear about how we eat too many carbs these days, and that causes us to store too much fat. These are two of the common theories as to why human populations are increasing in weight.  But when you look at data about what has been happening in animal weights across the last 40 -50 years, you may--like me--start to wonder if there is more to the story. That brings to to talk about obesogens--what they are, how they cause problems, and what to do about them!
