why are people becoming too health consious these days??

i agree with you.i am a bit chubby and there are times that i do go out and binge without thinking about the calories and all that.becasue everytime you end up thinking about that it just drives your desire away.anyway people are more conscious nowdays i think that it has to do with the fact that as we become more developed and globalisation sets in we all learn new things.so that pretty much even a villager would know what a calorie si by now.and most of the people tend to exaggerate the health issues but bottom line,fatty food is in excess in todays globalised markets and it is okay tohave it once in a while bit not all the time.also as we become fat we tend to get diabetes,heart failures,strokes etc. this century more people are fat than human civilisation ever was .and this is again to the fact that rich fatty foods are available in todays markets.for example they did not have ice cream in the 3rd century.we have tons of it available today and we just cannot resist that scoop.that is why we are more fat than our ancestors and why we are more susceptible to more diseases than them. so it okaty to binge once in a while but not all the time.this is the time of development but unfortunately it is also the time that we pay more attention to our health.chk out the links! http://www.diet.com/ http://www.atkins.com/ http://www.dietsite.com/dt/corpindex.asp?Aff=DEF

I think people are more educated.Lets take example of out eastern foods they haave a lot of facts But i have seen people being concious like i cant eat that there is a lot of oil in this food.I think this is a positive change.

It's better if you are a bit health concious so that you would live longer.

The main reason I think is that if we eat healthy foods and exercise enough we will live a lot longer. The experts say that if you do not smoke and drink (excessively) that your life expectancy will increase by ten years!

Being health consciuos to some extent is good. But thinking too much and changing your eating habits drastically is not good for health. Bothering about health too much is in itself a disease according to me. What say??

It is all due to a very fast life, everybody wants to have a good health. Education plays a vital role in it.

may be because people are getting lot of health problems and in this environment condition one cannot survive without taking precautions
