Food, Water, Air and Obesity

Like, water and air, optimal nutrition is essential for life, but the obesity epidemic in children and in adults is not caused by insufficient physical activity and/or excessive food intake.
It is impossible to explain in a few words because there is so much of a preconceived mind about the cause and solution for obesity that is born out of the wrong science of weight gain/weight loss.
1. Causes of the obesity epidemic are misunderstood.
2. The basic science of Weight Gain/weight loss is wrong.
3. The weight loss induced by weight loss surgeries is misunderstood.
4. The weight loss induced by starvation or any other diet is misunderstood. (The article which explains the mechanism underlining weight loss induced by a starvation diet will be posted on my website in a few days.)
The obesity epidemic can be relatively easy to combat, but it is hard to explain. One reason that makes it hard to explain is that the entire established science of obesity was created without knowing that the human body excretes some energy in food intake. ( Until recently, the established scientific community didn’t know that some amount of energy in food intake human body excrete as metabolic waste  - they didn’t know that stool contains calories.)
