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.

Quote from Dr. J :
Read Good Calories, Bad Calories by Taubes
Indirectly, the 90 min lecture addresses why that theory is incomplete (there another video where Lustig asks Taubes a question at a Taubes lecture, and Taubes concedes his books/theories don't address the point Lustig mentions, while he agrees the evidence points in that direction).

You have not presented any evidence to support your claim, or any reasonable logic.. Not everyone who presents a tax is a charlatan.

You have your preconceived notions and I can't change that.
Never mind the argument that the sole reason for obesity is sugar right. Why back up your own argument?

I already did and vec Fallacy agree with me (albeit after I clarified). Sugar is the problem, but how and why sugar became the problem is the real cause.

Hell no. When they get fussy from being inside too long we head outside with the four square ball, and if i can't throw that i just throw the youngest one. Survival of the fittest, baby! Strong

That's soooo 2 horus ago. He changed the OP. He now says sugar is an accomplice to the real problem. I can buy that. Calories and portion control are the real problems, and being fat and lazy are also accomplices.

Yes, watching videos on my phone and making it blatantly obvious that I'm not working is always a wise career choice. No one will notice.
