In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem.” To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence(证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, and didn’t watch TV and used machines much less.

   Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations(调查) such as a 1979 study of 3545 London office workers, reported that fat people eat less than slimmer people.

   Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University of Medicine found the following interesting facts. The more the men ran, the more fat they lost. The more they ran, the more they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
