A short spoken excerpt from a YouTube video (Dr Seyfried Ep 2 | Obesity_ Evolution in Action) arguing that rising obesity reflects evolution in action: our evolutionary adaptations are mismatched to modern environments, producing energy-balance changes that increase risks for cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and other chronic diseases.

We're getting fat. And that's exactly evolution in action. People say, I, well, I don't understand biological evolution. You understand the obesity epidemic, right? That's evolution in action. That's our evolutionary past telling us that we're in a new environment now. And that environment is putting us at risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, all of the different chronic diseases as the result of our energy balance changing.
