Are eating habits getting worse in Spain?

 Did you know that as time goes people from Spain are eating worse? In the last years the rate of obesity is getting higher, we are getting closer to the EEUU rate of obesity. But, why is this happening?

The main reason is our job and the entrance of women in the laboral life. Formerly, in a family the only one who has job was the man, usually the women stayed at home taking care of the children and doing the housework, that way the women prepared lunch and dinner for their husband and it didn’t' matter how long the journey of work of him was. 

Another reason is the rhythm of life that we lead. We are busy almost all the time. We return home exhausted so we just want to have some rest. When we get to our home we use our phones or we see a series or a film and we don't move too much.  We don't do much exercise, so we have a sedentary lifestyle. This makes us gain weight and have worse health.

Also, a reason of this deterioration of eating habits is the alcohol. In Spain the alcohol it's in every celebration and in every weekend. It is normalized to start drinking from a very young age. The alcohol it is very harmful to health and it makes our eating habits get worse.

Besides that, another reason of this issue is the fast food companies. They sell tasty and cheap food. Their food it's very unhealthy and also addictive. But it taste better than a cauliflower.

So, to sum up, the main causes of this deterioration are the hours working, the sedentary lifestyle, the alcohol and the fast food companies.
