The Fat Lie: Britain's Rising Obesity Unmasked

New research suggests the UK's rise in obesity has not been caused by, as
many have suggested, high-fat foods and sugary drinks but by a lack of
physical activity.
.
Conducted by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), the briefing paper
argues against the claim that calorie consumption has been the primary
cause of the UK's expanding waistline. Indeed, according to the IEA the
evidence overwhelmingly suggests that per capita consumption of sugar, fat
and calories has been falling in the UK for several decades.
.
The Fat Lie examines evidence from the Department for Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, the ONS and the
British Heart Foundation.
The average weight of an English adult has increased by two kilograms
since 2002. Yet over the same period calorie consumption fell four per
cent and sugar consumption dropped nearly 7.5 per cent. The amount of
calories consumed outside the home also tumbled from 310 in 2001/02 to 219
in 2012.
.
But while Brits were cutting back on cake, physical activity has also
taken a back seat. In 2010 the average Brit walked 179 miles - compared
with 255 miles in 1976.
.
Cycling had also dropped to an average of 42 miles a year by 2010,
compared with 51 in 1976.
.
As many as 40 per cent of people reported spending no time walking at
work. The IEA points out that the rise in sedentary office jobs and
labour-saving devices mean people are not compelled to undertake the same
amount of physical activity they used to.
