I would contest that. If you dig more into it, you'll find the obesity crisis started around the late 70s with a change in dietary guidelines and medical guidelines saying basically 'fat & meat bad' and 'carbs good' along with the widespread introduction of vegetable oils, leading to too much insulin and other hormonal effects slowly increasing diabetes & obesity in our population.
Read "The Obesity Code" if you want a more detailed description with a lot of links to papers and studies for more info.
I mean .. isn't that obvious that obesity goes with abundance ?
I'd love to see an staring obese person.

Most obese people are suffering from something called "internal starvation", which is a byproduct of insulin resistance. The mini-lecture on fat biochemistry is here[0].

I read that as scarcity of options - your only option is eat junk food and get obese. With abundance of options you can decide to eat healthy or junk.
In that case it makes sense yeah
> Does someone understand the graph btw ?
Yes. A market with decent products for a fair price bifurcates into mass-market crap and high-end boutiques. See my other comment - I think it's a correct observation.
I wasn't being sarcastic I tried to understand but only got confused.
He should have re-read that paragraph.
Does someone understand the graph btw ?
Also I do agree that this era is selling obesity in many forms and that the high frequency noise, flood, paradox of choice is unhealthy.
There was an article (I forgot where sorry) which claimed that difficulty and depth was more in tune with how our system works. You don't progress by doing thousands of nanosteps. Maybe I'm too masochist but I think it works better. Deep moves, deep rest, repeat.
