Why Does Eating Candy Make Some People Fat?
Eating as much as one can of anything at any time will produce fat, provided you do not do sufficient physical work or take enough exercise to counteract the effect of generous eating. When you see a person who eats a great deal and is growing fat, you may know that he or she is not taking sufficient bodily exercise to work off the energy produced by the body from the food that has been eaten. When this happens the energy in the form of fat piles up in various parts of the system. Candy will do this more quickly than any other thing we eat because it contains so much sugar and because sugar is so easily changed by our system into usable energy. You generally find a fat person who eats much candy to be a lazy person.
