Oh, yeah, absolutely, CICO is king because you can't best thermodynamics.
I meant it more in the sense of "a slice of bread shouldn't be 15g of sugar and 250 kcal". Especially when you consider the fact that loads of people can't read a menu at McDonalds (I'm old enough to remember when their menus had text and not just pictures on them) and need a calculator to divide by two or ten, and we're expecting them to understand nutrition facts and ingredient lists.
Imagine thinking you're eating healthy because you had a turkey and processed cheese sandwich with some sliced veggies, and you don't realize your small sandwich was 550 kcal by itself, so you have another later because the lack of fat in the meal meant you got hungry again, and you've just blown through half your reccomended daily kcal intake and eaten 30-50 grams of sugar, depending on the type of bread used.
Its criminal.
I remember when nutrition labels became mandatory for everything back in the 90s. Has obesity increased or decreased since then? information or lack of it is not the issue.
but to my original point: one would learn and understand that processed food is bad for you and cook for yourself while learning to maintain or lose weight.
