During my list making I stumbled on this article
It's about historical calorie intake and workouts. People were eating way more calories, and doing less, and still had a lower body weight. We are constantly being told to lower our calories, exercise, and fight the obesity epidemic. Nothing fits by the historical records. Every suggestion is wrong.
I knew something was weird when I was told by a lower rich class guy that the poor couldn't afford real food. He meant the super expensive but not as good food at those special grocery stores.
It appears that the way this is done is
-
Choose something no one knows that well.
-
Have an obvious fake news that is prompted by all media.
-
Make one side look stupid and lazy.
-
Promote the bad side as rebellions
-
Have tons of business to deal with the non existent problem both for and against
-
Change the word use if people start to catch on.
-
Promote laws stopping the Lazy Stupid people from being tricked by Evil. Said laws remove rights from everyone.
-
Have demonstrations and big promotions against said thing for people to make money to 'battle' the problem. This is all a scam of some kind.
-
The Lazy Stupid people are told they are special and beautiful. This niche is used for money laundering. No one is told it's not an actual problem.
I've seen this in obesity, Covid, videogames, global warming, hawks in England, sparrows in China, and several others. What others can you think of? Why is obesity promoted so hard, and what is the truth?
A big difference is animal products. The switch to everything vegetable instead of animal is a contributing factor.
Don't discount vaccines though. Right around when health started going to shit was also the time vaccine use started growing. We look at countries today that are poor and say that's why they aren't fat because they can't afford to eat but those are also countries without prevalent vaccine use. I think the impacts of vaccines are not being properly measured and there could be something to it.
Still, I would chalk up most of the issue to processed foods. The 1950s was still when women stayed home to cook and grocery stores were only starting to become commonplace. I think having women in the workplace had led to the obesity epidemic because people started buying quick processed foods in the grocery stores instead of making everything from scratch.
But the reason I bring up vaccines is because a lot of people argue the reason people can't seem to lose weight despite "eating healthy" is because of "genetics" but if 100% of your population gets vaccines and then there appears to be some sort of "issue" with people that can't be explained by anything except "genetics" that actually could be a vaccine issue.
I still think our food supply is terrible but I think there's some other weird factor going on which is why I point to vaccines. Maybe it's not vaccines and it's birth control in the water turning frogs gay or something but I believe there's definitely something.
A lot of modern food-making techniques for mass production like pasteurization of milk and certain breadmaking techniques have led to lower quality food and although it seems subtle it may be having a large impact.
I recommend most people switch to a pure animal-based diet or as close as they can get to that. Try to eat the whole animal too not just the breast but the liver, bone marrow, brain (mad cow killed this), kidneys, etc... Use tallow and butter for all cooking and never touch a vegetable oil again. Drink raw milk if available. etc... Almost all of the modern thoughts on "healthy food" is wrong. Sugar is fine, especially if it's from fresh fruit or just plain white sugar. Try to avoid high-fructose corn syrup. Vegetables are much less healthy than people realize. Nightshades are the worst and root vegetables the best.
