Obesity Quote by Alex Brecher
““Dealing With Obesity What has gone wrong in the course of only a few short decades? Our genes haven’t changed much; it takes thousands or millions of years for the gene pool to change. What has changed is our lifestyle. These are some of the reasons why we overeat and don’t exercise enough – leading to obesity.””
