[speaker001:] Why are there still so many people overweight despite the current fitness craze?
[speaker002:] Well, there are certain factors that effect people's size and weight.
[speaker001:] What are they?
[speaker002:] One study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families.
[speaker001:] Why?
[speaker002:] The survey said that the low, income groups eat more junk food on a daily basis.
[speaker001:] That makes sense. Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper.
[speaker002:] And junk food contains lots of fat and oil. There is one final reason why so many people are fat.
[speaker001:] What's that?
[speaker002:] Nobody exercises any more-not even kids! The average American home has the TV on for 6 hours a day!
[speaker001:] Wow! No wonder people are so fat. Say, Carl, looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I guess so.
[speaker001:] You should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise.
[speaker002:] Hey, I started a diet and lost 10 pounds.
[speaker001:] So what happened?
[speaker002:] Well, I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds.
[speaker001:] You should have kept trying.
