HCG Diet Direct Cites the Sociological Aspect of the Obesity Epidemic
HCG Diet Direct cites the sociologic aspect of the obesity epidemic. Compulsive behavior and mental issues are no longer the only root causes professionals are blaming for the obesity epidemic. As obesity becomes more of a national (and world) politic issue, the obesity epidemic is being considered from sociologic and biologic perspectives.

HCG Diet Direct cites the sociologic and biologic perspectives professionals are beginning to consider as the root cause of the obesity epidemic (http://www. hcgdietdirect. com/hcg-diet-news/hcg-obesity-epidemic. html). In the past the public as well as most professionals laid the blame for the ever increasing trend toward obesity on compulsive eating, and mental issues (i. e. anxiety, depression, extreme stress, unhealthy familial relations, etc). The continued increase of obesity amongst modern society is now being considered a consequence of a general social condition.
Biologic factors exacerbating the obesity epidemic include:
1. The body’s natural weight control system is still active in a society that no longer depends upon unpredictable food supplies.
2. The body's natural attraction to sweet, fatty and salty tastes is still active although they are no longer necessary (theses specific tastes once indicated rare essential nutrients).
3. The human body’s natural signals push people to eat when food is available because it may not be available in the future. In the past this natural survival feature of the body’s system ensured that energy could be stored as fat for future needs.
Modern Societal factors that make the body’s natural weight control system obsolete and often harmful:
1. Food is readily available in mass quantities. It is rare for an individual to need to store energy for the future through fat.
2. Massive variety is available for many in today’s society when it comes to food. Individuals do not reach a point at which they stop eating from sheer monotony. There is always something new and interesting to reach for when tired of one food item.
3. Speed is prized in modern society; the majority of individuals prize fast preparation and fast eating. This makes it difficult for the body’s alert indicating hunger is satisfied to reach the brain in time to stop overeating.
4. Little to no physical activity is required for the large majority of individuals. For instance, walking has been replaced by driving, sitting and watching TV has replaced more active pursuits, etc.
Some scientists are studying the possible similarities between drug addiction and food addiction. Both drug and food addictions are fed by the sheer availability of products. And it has been suggested that both addictions are related to the same brain centers.
