How reliable are any of these results though? Someone puts out a paper with a headline grabbing le or abstract, and the popular media doesn't read the paper and see what it actually says. They just run with it. It's one of many reasons why I hate watching the national news. You watch one of these 5:30/6:30 broadcasts on NBC / ABC / CBS and they're littered with new scientific research on eggs that supposedly contradicts whatever they reported two weeks ago on eggs. And then the same thing on bacon, on butter, on fat, and so on. No one follows up on these results and tries to replicate them because who has money to confirm these results? Who wants to confirm someone else's work instead of doing their own original research?

I never understood the appeal of grape nuts. It looks great, like apple crisp, but, it tastes like puke. Like Earl Grey tea, it's putrid.

It doesn't sound like you know what Grape Nuts area. They sure don't look "great". The taste is pretty bland. If they taste like "puke", you might need to get checked out. Drastically changing tastes or smells can be a sign of serious mental illness.

Prior to the late 70s/early 80s, there wasn't any "scientific research". People consumed a high amount of animal fat, they used butter, and they didn't toss the egg yolk because it had too much cholesterol, and oddly enough, there wasn't an obesity epidemic. It wasn't until studies that said consuming fat is what led to heart disease (studies that had confirmation bias written all over them) that obesity rates in this country ed and we started seeing type 2 beetus in teenagers because people replaced the fat in their diet with added sugar. Point being, it's not just a few obscure studies I'm referring to, the last 30-40 years are loaded with evidence that sugar/carbohydrates are much worse for you than animal fats/cholesterol.

I'm not sure that's the entire story though. The death of the farming and manufacturing economy has put more adults sitting on ass in front of computers 40 hours a week. The rise of video games combined with scared parents who watch too much cable news has put more kids asses in front of tvs and xboxes. Then food portion size is dramatically higher now than 40-50 years ago. You go to McDonalds and the standard order of fries is like twice the size of what it was in the 50s and 60s. The regular cheeseburger is the one people used to eat, not the Big Mac or the Quarter Pounder or whatever monstrosity they can load with bacon. Twenty ing McNuggets, a bigass fries, and a soda is a value meal now at McDonalds for one person. The portion size of food now in this country is ing disgusting.

Don't you think there's a connection between people eating big ass portions of food beginning around the same time that people began consuming processed carbs/added sugars? Idk about you, but if I'm having a meal that's exclusively meats/vegetables, I fill up a lot quicker than I do if I'm eating a starchy meal.

I also think the whole "people/kids don't exercise anymore!" idea is a horse story that's been pimped by the sugar industry. That might explain the kid who's 10-15 pounds overweight, but it doesn't explain the morbidly obese high school students who weigh 400 pounds.
