| Kicking the Bad Habits: Abstract of High Table Dinner Speech by Dr. Peter Tong (23 Jan) | |
Thank you for inviting me to share with you my view of one of the major problems facing our modern life: central obesity. Over the past 50 years, humans have begun to take on a different evolution path. We do not have to hunt, cultivate or plant to get food any more. Changes of economy enable us to work in buildings. Sedentary lifestyle and the abundance of high-energy food result in an increase in obesity.
