We may not really be able to compare ourselves to animals, but by looking at animals eating patterns we might begin to see why humans become overweight.
If you think about, how many overweight animals have you seen? Out in the wild you won't find any overweight animals, and it isn't due to lack of food. That's more likely to make an animal be under weight, not overweight.
Even when food is in abundance, wild animals don't have an obesity problem like humans do. Their metabolism and digestive systems aren't the reason either.
The reason for it is that they are eating the foods that nature designed for their systems to handle. Consequently, they get the proper nutrition and are able to maintain a healthy state, including their weight.
Most likely the only animals that you will see that are overweight are the ones that we have as pets. That's because we tend to give our pets the same foods we eat, even if they contain fat or sugar or are nutritionally lacking.
Even the pet food from the store that is processed has additives, colors and other rubbish to keep our pets nutritionally unbalanced. Unfortunately, diabetes is on the rise in our domestic animals as a result of the poor diet that they consume.
So, not only are we jeopardizing our health with poor food choices, we are also reducing the chances our pets have of living long and healthy lives that they deserve to have.
We often buy food for ourselves and our pets based on advertising instead of using the guidelines of whether it is good for us or not. People are the ones making the wrong dietary choices, not animals, yet we are the ones who are supposed to be the smartest!
Let's stop to consider what impact our wrong choices are having. Wouldn't it be nice if we could be healthier and feel better and have the added benefit of helping our pets live longer and healthier lives?
