You're assuming that obesity and a lack of energy are mutually exclusive when, in fact, they're very much related. In fact the main reason people become obese is that their liver must shuttle the massive amount of toxins into fat when it gets overwhelmed with toxins because it takes, get this, a lot of energy to detoxify your body.

Look at commercially farmed meats. How do you make the most money as a meat farmer? You sell meats by the pound so your goal is to get the heaviest animals possible. How do you get the biggest animals the fastest? You make them fat instead of muscular because it happens quicker. How do you do that? It turns out that you feed them garbage and treat them like garbage.

Cement powder, plastic chips, dead animal parts and even sewage are approved by the FDA to be fed to animals in commercial farms.
