  1. Is Your Environment Super-Sizingyou?? Kristi Stender-Weessies Borgess Health & Fitness Center February 2013

  2. Public Health Dilemma What causes obesity? Too much sugar? Too much fat? Hormones in our milk and meat? Too much sedentary time? Too many meals away from home? The wrong mix of macronutrients?

  3. The call to reframe obesity as… Caloric Overconsumption Even if it doesn’t tell the whole story, it gives us a starting spot.

  4. But I chose healthy options! Food choice is not the same as intake volume decisions. Health Halos – like a get out of jail free cards for eating. When a person eats “healthy”, on average, they eat 34% more calories.

  5. Many environmental factors impact what we consider “normal” eating • Who you eat with • Plate size – people consume (on average) 92% of what is on their plate – smaller plates lead to smaller consumption • Serving utensil size– nutrition experts served themselves 31% more when using a larger serving spoon • Serving dish size – Those serving out of a gallon bowl served 53% more and ate 59% more than those serving out of 2 half gallon bowls.

  12. And what is “normal” soda consumption? According to the National Soft Drink Association (NSDA), consumption of soft drinks is now over 600 12-ounce servings per person per year. Since the late 1970`s the soft drink consumption in the United States has doubled for females and tripled for males. The highest consumption is in the males between the ages of 12 - 29; they average 1/2 gallon a day or 160 gallons a year. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db71.htm
