The guidelines from 1980 have indeed mentioned reducing satiating saturated fat and since then people have been getting more and more obese.

The problem is that we have, unfortunately, been listening.

Jeez. Have you had a look at dietary trends since 1950? The adherence to the modern guidelines were arguably better in 1950 than today.

I am so tired of this crap. Energy intake increased by something like 400kcal/day since 1960. Mostly from processed foods.

At the same time physical activity plummeted.

What do you think is the most probable explanation of obesity: the above or that we halved our SFA intake?

Why do you think people are eating more? It’s because that synthetic crap that is called food doesn’t fill you up!
