This is soooo funny, I scroll through all the comments and everyone tells that it's so obvious that calories or sugar are responsible for the fat population. Not a single one mentions that maybe fat makes people fat... No one seems to be interested that the share of fat in the food increased in the recent decades. Why not? Because it's not fat that makes you fat, it's the sugar! Hilarious.
I wish we could get a graph of fat intake of the last hundred years.
The straw-graping replies to this thread are pretty funny. It's somehow still all sugar's fault, because it just is, with at least one repost of Dr. Lustig's viral Sugar, The Bitter Truth lecture from 12 years ago (when people ironically ate more sugar and weren't as fat or obese as they are today), and a neurotic low-carber who wears a CGM despite not being diabetic (and not knowing that dietary fat intake is actually a stronger risk factor for T2D than sugar).
