Every fat person on earth already knows that too much food makes you fat.
Yet somehow, even armed with this knowledge, we're all fat.
Curious.
A significant part of it is the stuff they put in our food.
It's funny how you never visualise the person on an internet forum as fat, but some of the people typing here are fat.
We tens to visualise the people typing like us. At least, I do
So that's why I see everybody as fat as fuck and tipping a fedora to me. Good to know.
Ok, I do have trouble visualising you as an 18 year old girl 🤣

Most.
What happened in the 80s
A combination of sugar subsidies, market penetration of transformed food while the food industry figured they could make their customers sugar-addict, the start of GDP and minimum salary drifting away from each other, meaning poor households no longer able to afford quality food, and running through 2 or 3 jobs doesn't leave you much time to cook.
So, in a summary: that's completely a personal responsibility issue.
Isn't the correct answer that glucose-fructose syrup got subsidised?? (I might have my history wrong)
Also, the "low fat" fitness craze started and manufacturers started replacing fat with sugar.
Yes. Well that and sugar tariffs combined.
And the long trend of decreasing home cooking really gained steam. Homemade food can be delicious, but it is rarely hypersatiable. It's also more likely to contain things like vegetables (though I'll admit, I don't use enough in my household, my wife hates my "could eat it nonstop" veggie and I'm allergic to hers).
We've also increasingly been doing jobs that don't fulfill a meaningful portion of physical fitness, and as such we're increasingly underexercised
