Should Obesity be classified as a disease?

[EDCG19]

You contradicted yourself in your final paragraph: “carbs are also an issue”, then went on to acknowledge the actual problem. I’ll let this shot from Stephan Guyenet’s book cover the point for me:

good catch but carbs are actually the issue the way i see it, the sugar industry fucked everything up 60 years ago telling people to eat more carbs instead of fats

Nope. See my recent conversation here with Prox. Taubes can get on his sugar nonsense all he wants, but the fact is, if you look at the data, people were still overeating on fat through all of that stuff. Sugar consumption has gone down over the last decade, yet asses continue to expand. It’s both, and always has been, it’s just a matter of the dance being skewed from time to time.
