There is an old Beatles song, “Getting Better All the Time”:

written by Paul McCartney. It is a pretty stupid song, but it could be more relevant to the times if he re-released it as “Getting Fatter All the Time,” because that is the direction Western society is going:

“A staggering three-quarters of ‘Generation Y’ will be obese or overweight by the age of 40. Despite fad diets and Instagram health stars shooting to fame among the health-trend generation, the majority are actually putting themselves at serious risk, new figures show. An over-indulgent culture has been blamed on the rising weight of people born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s. So much for the avocado trend sweeping the ‘food conscious’ age group which guzzles down quinoa. After tweeting about it. Cancer Research UK has revealed 6 million Britons in the age group are on course to struggle with weight gain. The figures are described as “horrifying,” and mean millennials are the most overweight generation since records began. Health fears are growing as obesity is now a leading cause of cancer, second only to smoking. Early indications reveal 74 percent of millennials are on course to have weight issues.
“The figures are horrifying. They are the result of successive governments paying only lip-service to tackling an obesity crisis which was already headlines 20 years ago,” said Tam Fry, from the National Obesity Forum, the Telegraph reports. And the links to cancer are growing. Currently, excess weight is linked to 13 types of cancer, including bowel and breast cancer. “Being overweight is the UK’s biggest cause of cancer after smoking, but most people don’t know about this substantial risk. If more people become aware of the link it may help spare not just millennials, but all generations from cancer,” said Cancer Research UK’s director of prevention, Alison Cox, according to the Telegraph.”
As scientists like Dr Weston Price observed many years ago with the decline of Western dental health, the obesity crisis is very much a product of over-consumption, and over-management by corrupt food companies. The Western diet has become deprived of essential nutrients, while containing excess useless calories, many sugar and bad fats, like trans fats. Think about things like potato chips and fast noodles, full too of artificial flavourings and chemicals. Then, on top of this is the lack of exercise that comes with modern life. For example, sitting working at desks is extremely unhealthy, increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases:

There is clearly a massive problem here which is getting worse by the year. It is hard to see how there can be any easy solution given the increasing sedentary demands of modern work. Perhaps when most people are unemployed and hunted by killer robots, they may lose a bit of weight:
