Growth is the cause - increased appetite and decreased energy expenditure (gluttony and sloth) are the effects. When we grow fatter, the same is true as well.

We don't get fat because we overeat; we overeat because were fat.”
― Gary Taubes, Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

― Elbridge Gerry Paige, Short Patent Sermons Volume 1
