Do we eat too much sugar these days? Too much meat? Too much dairy?
Yes to all of it. Probably so.

But there is a very simple explanation: Self-reporting is bullshit.
Never believe anyone who says "I can eat anything I want and not gain weight" or "I hardly eat anything and still gain weight". There's always something they aren't seeing. Anyone who says that needs to keep a very strict food journal for a month. No cheating, no "well it's just a mint". Strict. Everything gets recorded. You take a bite of someone's ice cream, you record it.
What you'll find is that their caloric consumption is right in line with their weight.
