There are many theories on the causes of obesity. Some say too much fat, too many calories. Ironically, many of the modern diets have generally failed to fix the problem.
The above video is long. For people who will reply with tl;dr here is the synopsis:
Watch it if you get a chance. I really enjoyed it and found it both eye opening and informative, without needing some shock factor or sex to sell it. It follows a simple premise and makes a lot of sense.

I have no problem spending an extra 10 or 15 minutes in the gym if it gets me a nice big greasy burger.
I agree with vec and cs. Diet & exercise & forming your own opinion.
I stated my argument in just 1 post and it's more believable then the sugar conspiracy.
Again, this is anecdotal evidence most people believe (including myself).
Watch the video.

There is no possible way that you could convince me that formula makes babies fat.

Formula is more than just sugar and offers a lot more calories than breast milk which means it offers a lot more calories than their bodies were built for. I can't watch the video and won't when I have the time simply because if you've seen as many of these as I've seen, there's nothing more to add. I think what you're trying to get at is that we put sugar in everything. Is that right? If so, then I would agree, but the reason that it makes us fat is not because it's sugar. We could substitute it with extra butter or extra lard or whatever. The point is that it's extra. We are adding more calories to our bodies than we did in centuries passed. We can get food anywhere now, and we don't have to work nearly as hard for it.
Don't watch the video if you don't want to, but the guy gives a very convincing argument using logic and science and not shock theories.
If you're nothing will change your mind, why even discuss something?

Replying in this thread.

I don't doubt it, and i don't disagree with him/you that sugar is a major problem. I'm only saying it's not the only one.
