As a Nation We Have Increased the Amount of Calories We Consume  

 

 New York Times calls attention to the increased number of calories consumers eat.  With the recent rage of low-carb diets one has to wonder if its really the carbohydrates causing the problem or just simply the increased number of calories one consumes coupled with the lack of adequate exercise.  This article might answer your questions, however, keep in mind that its not the carbohydrates that cause the extra fat-its the type of carbohydrates consumed that cause the problem.
