Obesity is commonly associated with processed food. A processed food can be defined as a food that has been subjected to different methods, which alters its natural state, for convenience. And because of the increasing consumption of processed food, obesity cases have also increased. I have to agree. Unlike before when eating involves physical efforts such as buying, preparing and cooking, food nowadays are mostly processed. Though some still buy, prepare and cook their food, many eat meals by just buying it. Because of modernization and industrialization, we can’t seem to run away from these foods. We live with it because we need to. Instead of blaming obesity to processed food, why don’t we just try to find a solution, like lap band surgery, so we can still enjoy life to the fullest.
