These deficiencies may not be too out of step with lifestyle patterns of previous generations. But as the Park article indicates, obesity is in its simplest terms attributable to two lifestyle conditions; the amount of calories burned on a daily basis and the amount of calories consumed. Evidence has begun to mount to suggest that it is in this latter area that changes in behavior and consumer culture have had the effect of increasing obesity patterns.
