>These solutions, while sounding quite doable, are really out of most of our hands.
Yeah, this is kind of the despair sentence. I've been getting more cynical in the sense of "if this is to change, our governments need to not be in the pockets of these big businesses" and I know that's a long shot. There would also need to be someone willing to take the political hit to be able to lead us there, and that person would not need to get Epstein'd in the process.
Bit doomer, sorry, but as a person who stresses about his weight a ton and how things don't really feel like they're in my hands, this piece hit me a bit hard.
This is such an interesting topic, there’s so many ‘facts’ about obesity that we grow up just kind of accepting unquestioningly that turn out to be wrong. That picture of the sugar ad in your piece is wild!
I recently read The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung. His hypothesis is (in a nutshell) that obesity is caused by hormone imbalance, specifically insulin.
Like Toomath, he talks a lot about all the bad conclusions that have been drawn by studies over the years and looks at the way the food we’ve been eating for the last 30-40 years has changed and how our bodies have reacted to it.

I really enjoyed this, thanks.
