control, people are consuming too much food with too many calories. Watching TV is preferred to playing with
friends or socializing or spending time with the family and this has contributed to more and more people having
problems with their weight and becoming obese. Also, stress and bad food habits such as irregular meal times and
consuming too much junk food coupled with little or no exercise and thyroid problems have caused people to put on
too much weight.
