8. Several economic factors have resulted in
increased-calorie diets. First, food is proportionately cheaper than I was a
few decades ago, which means that people can now afford more food. People are also

consuming more calories, people are exercising less and thus using fewer
calories. Eating more calories than are exerted through physical activity
creates energy imbalance. Over time, this imbalance results in weight gain, or
obesity. It is easier to gain weight than to lose it because the body
accommodates overeating more readily than it ignores hunger.
