The modern world's busy lifestyle and prevalence of desk jobs leaves a very tight margin of free time; anything related to eating is rushed, abridged so as to take as little time as possible. Cooking is abandoned, canned and processed foods are in. Can't waste time taking three meals, let's eat it all in one go. All of this, in the long run, doesn't please the body at all. And that's not counting the occasional birth condition that literally forces you to be fat or ''die'', one way or another.
