HOW CARS MAKE YOU FAT

Andrew Prentice of the MRC Clinical Centre in Cambridge studied FOOD ENERGY INTAKE and PHYSICAL ACTIVITY in UK between 1960 and 1995 when the population was fast gaining weight.

He found that during that period, average per capita food ENERGY INTAKE FELL by 20%. But obesity shot up!

He found that SLOTH could make us fatter.

He found that CAR OWNERSHIP grew during that period, from 3 in 10 households in 1961, to 7 in 10 households in 1995.

NOW it is much worse. In Penang, the population of MOTORISED VEHICLES IS HIGHER THAN THE POPULATION OF PEOPLE of 1.6 million!
