5 Reasons We're Fatter
I totally believe number 3, heating and air conditioning:
Living in an environment that is excessively cold or warm forces the body to expend calories to maintain a normal body temperature and thus may keep weight down. In addition, high ambient temperatures seem to kill appetite. So, turning up the air conditioning in the summer may pad on extra pounds.

Fat chicks have fatter babies. Example- the average weight of a baby elephant is 232lbs. Need I say more?
