I see this anecdotally in my personal life, and systemically from a population perspective. 100% concur that a/c contributes to our epidemic of obesity. Much like the advent of suburban neighbourhoods that are not conducive to walking and activity, high rates of central a/c are contributing to obesity. <br />Eliot Frymire<br />Kingston, Canada Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427370353246038712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712756.post-51714164471267208792010-07-27T09:29:54.994-04:002010-07-27T09:29:54.994-04:00What a great post, I actually found it very though...What a great post, I actually found it very thought provoking, you just never know sometimes when a golden nugget of information is going to land at your feet, thanks<a href="http://www.donmarcompany.com" rel="nofollow">air conditioning washington dc</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592491073556752504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712756.post-72539506936750970112010-01-21T12:11:55.999-05:002010-01-21T12:11:55.999-05:00Air conditioning can be very helpful for all the p...Air conditioning can be very helpful for all the people.

What has changed in our society, what has changed in the circumstances of people's lives, of their work, their families, their residences that makes them more likely to choose faster/cheaper foods.sgreerpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764262558160301061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712756.post-83942499749510816752009-10-05T20:52:26.635-04:002009-10-05T20:52:26.635-04:00Some interesting thoughts in your blog have awaken...Some interesting thoughts in your blog have awakened my mind. I never considered the air conditioning factor but it certainly has some merit. My personal belief is that the main factor is the food we eat and the fact we are becoming a lazy nation. Food that is good for you is expensive and requires some thought and work as opposed to fast food. Fast food is easy and cheap and fattening.George S Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407137341843413701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712756.post-13893532701747056622009-07-12T04:23:56.795-04:002009-07-12T04:23:56.795-04:00This was indeed thought provoking.

My issues with Obesity is very complex, but simple for me to understand to say the least, and that in and of itself is a great paradox.<br /><br />I find you to be a fascinating person, Sue --- a deep thinker; a seeker.Amias (ljm and liquidplastic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14722413697537828830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712756.post-27110043717131795542009-06-29T07:18:48.323-04:002009-06-29T07:18:48.323-04:00that might be one reason for obesity, but not the ...that might be one reason for obesity, but not the main factor...Air Conditioning Supplierhttp://www.heating-airconditioning.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
