It’s not every day you create a new word – well today I have created one: morebesity, at least I think it’s a new word.
What does it mean? Well, it describes a culture of MORE, which causes OBESITY. We now have a culture of bigger popcorn, bigger burgers, bigger steaks, bigger bread. More opportunities to eat, eat when driving, eat when travelling on a plane, even if you have already had breakfast at home before coming to the airport, eating at the departure lounge, eating at sporting events, eating when watching tv, more more more ….
Watch out for symptoms of morebesity in your life. Watch out for behaviours that have the potential to become habits, i.e. eating when not a meal time and eating when not hungry and especially watch yourself when you say these words “a large one, please”. Try not to order a large anything, go back to “regular” or if it exists order a “small”.
