[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t even understand how this is a question. People just eat way more than they did in the past. Simple as that.[/quote]

Well, it’s not that simple. They aren’t just eating more broccoli. They are eating more sugar, so they are fat. It’s that simple. [/quote]

They are eating more of everything. And not exercising.

This has been pointed out by the wiser people on this thread but it's amazing how many people still want to believe the pathetic excuses, blaming it on GMOs or not smoking any more or HFCS. It can't ever be their own fault, namely that they eat too much and don't offset it with exercise.

I'm old enough to remember when a large soda at a fast food place was the equivalent of today's medium. And you can no longer get a small size drink at many fast food places, last I checked. Portions at restaurant meals have ballooned. Even the size of dinnerware has grown. I have inherited sets of china from the 19th century through the 1950s and the plates and cups are noticeably smaller than today's equivalent because people weren't piling huge quantities on their plates or drinking enormous mugs of sugary sweet drinks at a go. Coke used to be sold in small glass bottles, now it's sold in enormous quantities at a go. Bags of junk food have gotten bigger and bigger.

Americans are fat today because they eat too much. And food is too cheap. And the culture now accepts being fat. This is the answer. There is no avoiding it or blaming it on other things.
