People weren't fat 100 years ago so what happened? We didn't just evolve to have lower self control. Something was introduced in the food/water supply that causes obesity, particularly high appetite. What can it be? HFCS? Antibiotics? PFAS? Canola oil? Some mystery chemical?

The CICO cult are a hindrance to society, obviously everyone would count calories if it didn't make them feel like they're dying. The fact is we don't know CO. And we don't know each how each persons appetite is influenced. So talking about CICO is meaningless.

You haven't heard of fat Romans?

The environment, pesticides, plastics, skinny robot aliens from the future. We just don't know!

Anything but indulgence.

Hydrocarbons made transportation cheap. This lowered food prices and increased availability far beyond anything our ancestors could have dreamed. The automobile and office lifestyle also obviated much of the exercise necessary in the past. We live in an age of unprecedented abundance and ease, so we grow fat.
