Why Are Obesity Rates So High?
In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about the rise in obesity rates in the United States and around the world. While personal habits matter, I explore whether something larger is happening culturally and structurally.
We often hear that people simply need to eat better or exercise more. But what if deeper changes in how we live — how we cook, how we work, and how our environments are structured — are also shaping this trend?

In each episode, I share thoughts that have been on my mind—questions about stress, culture, health, and human behavior. Some reflections are personal, others are cultural, but all of them are an invitation to think a little more deeply about the world around us.
