More calories; less exercise=bigger us.

Recently, on vacation, we watched a lot more network TV. All the ads for fast foods were shocking!

Hamburgers with cheese, bacon, fried onion rings, sweet sauces on top. Some of those items had a whole day's worth of calories in them!

Not to mention all the ads for gloppy pizzas.

We can't eat those things, add fries, and drink sugary, high calorie sodas and not turn into porkers.

There are people who will propose everyone should wear a fitness tracker and their caloric intake should be monitored by a central health Care agency to save lives and to reduce healthcare costs. But it would be racist to measure all ethnicities the same, so some would have more calories and others less.I would think most progressives would be on board with that.

Lol, cooking oil is combined with salad dressing. Sure, its all those darn salads Americans are eating that is causing the obesity crisis.

I'm sure a year of lockdowns had nothing to do with it.

Anecdotally, I've lost weight in the last year. Down ~20-30lbs on the year and about 80lbs from my peak a number of years ago. 20 More and I'm at my target, but still need to convert some of that mass to muscle.

Some of those restaurant salads are 1,000 calories or more.

Just looked at the image and it appears to be kind of bogus. "Fake news," if you will.

What's this about "added" sugars and fats in the middle row? If we're talking about obesity, why does "added" anything matter? It doesn't. It's about the total intake of calories, fats, etc., not some human-created subcategory of them that your body doesn't care about.

The point of that "article" (if you'd call it that) seems to be to bash on soybean oil. There's not a lot to go on, but from what I can tell, it's manipulated data to promote a predetermined conclusion.

Garbage. Where do you get this stuff, and why do you put any faith in it?

Working mothers who don't have the time or inclination to prepare a nutritious evening meal for their children so they take them to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc where the kids gorge on cheeseburgers, fries and shakes.

It's showing that sugars do not cause obesity but the added processed fats and excessive calories is what causes obesity. Added just means processed.

The point of the article is to show that it's mainly processed fats/oils and excessive calories that cause obesity. Not sugar and carbs.
