I was immediately thinking economics. But if the trend picked up pre-2001., im not sure.

Later 2000's i would blame the recession and people seeking "cheap" food that was bad for them

Id need to do more research though

Computers and the food industry
300 kids in my graduating class (1993) and maybe 5-10 could've be considered Obese by today's standards. People also ate just as much junk food in 1990 as they do now. Whatever they're putting in the food now is worse than unhealthy. Starting late 90's/early 2000's there was something different about how the food tasted...Oreos, Mac N Cheese, Pizza, McD's, Doritos, Reeses all went from hnnngg to chit. Even elderly WW2 dudes were doubling in size and weight.

No, but i think other people do.

Besides im sure there are ways to do it. I have driven people (no, not an uber but in driving other employees) that use chit like "the dollar menu" and stuff like that

If i ever go there, dollar menu is not on my mind. But 3 bucks for 2 chicken sandwiches and something else might be hard to beat even at home

The problem would then be their macros with sodium being way upp on less nutritious chit. And then theyre probably still hungry and then eat even more chit

It's funny that in 100 years the mark of poverty has gone from skinniness to obesity. Food is plentiful, but the cheap readily available foods are not the healthy foods.

Thats a CHIT ton hypothyroid cases....

For real though...i do wonder about that. Since men are evolving with lower and lower t levels, are TSH levels lowering as well? My TSH levels plummeted at the same time my T levels did. But there are a thousand reasons to blame for this:
-Fast food companies having so much money and lobbying power
-Ignorance of basic nutrition; "Fat = bad" mentality
-Sedentary lifestyles; Gaming becoming so popular now that people can make millions off of it
-Foods being filled with so much synthetic chit (who knows the full effects on the endocrine system)
-Cant even attempt to pre-emptively educate fat people on nutrition or else its fat shaming

i think hormone levels will start to be looked at more and more as a source of poor physical health but poor mental health as well. Tony the tiger in particular being low's symptoms are so fckin similar to depression and anxiety it's mind boggling ssri's are prescribed before checking if little timmy's nuts are working like they're supposed to.

My theory is the lack of competitive environment is driving T levels down, you aren't allowed to be competitive in schools any more and the general lack of letting boys do what little boys do is stunting them permanently.

Lol at anyone blaming sh*t on anything other than people’s poor choices.

Yeah there is fat acceptance and video games and bad parents. Any maybe there isn’t good nutrition courses in school. But In this era with a gym on every corner and all of the worlds information at your fingertips with access to top notch nutrition information there is no excuse.

If you don’t want to be fat then you won’t be fat.

boys are doing worse in schools and girls are excelling that's a fact and there's a lot of debate on why

in case you missed this point let me say it againmy theoryis that schools have moved away from and even discourage competition which is detrimental to boys and beneficial to girls, this lack of competition growing up is not good for the development of boys. This is a testable theory but it would take a lifetime to study so chances of an extensive study being done on this isn't likely. The easiest way to test this would be to compare the test levels of kids that grew up playing sports and those that didn't but you couldn't really conclude anything from that other than there may be a correlation to playing sports and higher test but wouldn't be able to go as far as saying they could identify it being the cause

this cover it well enough?

Access to smartphones, computers became common, desk jobs became common, Netflix, Hulu, fast food businesses exploded, fat women socially castrated men who shamed them for being fat, indoor gadgets created more incentives to stay indoors instead of playing outside, and the list goes on...

Go shopping, don't be a creeper (or much of one), but just look at people's shopping carts (God help you if you try this at Walmart). You can tell instantly why people are obese right then and there.



Entirely bullchit. People aren't eating more and moving less now when compared to 1950 or the 1990s. Fuk off with that, no offense. The pushed their food pyramid, they subsidized corn so now high fructose corn syrup is everywhere, they told us fats were causing heart attacks, they told us to eat majority breads and carbs -- and we got fat. We move now more than we did in the 1990s and people aren't simply eating more with bigger portions. What changes was WHAT we are now eating.
I don’t have time to keep up with the literature in this field, but what high impact studies substantiate your claims here? Not necessarily calling you out, but I’d like to see the science. Even mouse models.

One thing's for sure, it's all external causes like the evil actions of government, corporations, scientists, etc.

Therefore, the answer can't be looking inward and taking personal responsibility, the solution must also be external.

also, I believe fast food and junk food corporations have scientifically mastered the ratios of carbs, fats, salts, and that laundry list of chemicals that you can't pronounce to make their products as addictive as possible.

After I have the rare breakfast at McDonalds while traveling or grab a pack of cookies on the go, I can feel my body craving more a while later. not the same with "normal" food. anyone else?

Very much this. Chit is insanely addictive, but just not got dam filling. So you eat more, crave more, and cycle.

It's legit terrifying in a way.

Obesity rates have gone up over the years, it correlates pretty strongly with the food pyramid. We now know the sugar industry was manipulating studies to shift the blame to fats. Who knows how good any study is, to be honest, knowing powerful lobbies are capable of manipulating them like this. At the very least, I wouldn't look at any single study for too much (also, non-human studies - not at all; don't care about rats, I care about people)

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/w...me-to-fat.html

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-...y-science.html

The problem boils down to Sucrose/sugar as much as anything. We shouldn't be eating it very much, we're eating tons of it.

Yes, calories matter, to a degree, but they are not this end-all-be-all people promote and think of them as. Don't tell me 1,000 calories from sugar is no different than 1,000 calories of steak or 1,000 calories from grass fed butter.

I tend to follow Dr. Jason Fung, which there are many detractors or nay-sayers there, your call. He's got many studies, human ones, that he cites.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
