It is the high fructose corn syrup and seed oils they put in almost everything. I'm old, and I remember when in my entire high school in the early 80s there was ONE kid who was considered fat, who by today's standards would be considered normal weight. Every one else was thin. Then around 1985 they made the switch from cane sugar to HFCS (look up "New Coke"). That's when everyone started putting on the pounds.

The issue is these things are too refined. If you eat seed oil with the stuff which is supposed to be in seeds, like vitamin b and e, they aren't so bad. If you eat fructose with the things which are supposed to be in fruit, fibre and acid, it doesn't screw with your blood sugar as much. If you have these things on their own with beige carbs then they are pretty disastrous.

Spot on but just eat like some guy from 1880, it's not that hard. Meat and potatoes.

And cabbage, funny how people always forget the cabbage.
