Pesticides Could Be Making People Fat

So you disagree that obesity is caused by excess caloric consumption? I fail to see your logic on that part if that is so. It seems you are arguing with me about something (entirely) different on which I never said anything about..

Pointing directly and solely to caloric intake when discussing obesity is the “It’s just economics 101” of the nutrition issue: technically right, but so lacking in nuance that it ceases to be interesting.

That's a fair point. But saying pesticides causes obesity just paints the wrong picture imo.

Contributes would've been a better word.

Guess what makes people eat more? Being hungry. If pesticides cause hunger, they make people fat. If pesticides are literally lowering people's blood sugar, it could be dangerous for them not to eat more calories.

I know that, you are missing the point. Re-read the original post or read through the thread...
