Obesity has a strong genetic component, and this plays an important role in explaining why a given individual is obese. But genetic characteristics in the population change very slowly, and so they clearly cannot explain why obesity has increased so rapidly in recent decades. Researchers have instead sought to explain obesity by looking at technological changes, changes in consumer habits, and changes in the social environment. Economists have taken the lead in these efforts. According to them, technological advances in agriculture have caused grocery prices to fall, and these declines have caused consumers to demand more groceries. The increase of food consumption has contributed to a surge in caloric intake that can account for as much as 40 percent of the increase in the body mass index of adults since 1980.
