Whole grains are pretty good for you, nowhere near as bad as something like white bread. That’s like corn on the cob vs HFCS.

It's impossible to stop obesity without destroying the entire sugar industry.

Flat out false, and I wish people would stop saying that. Including the part about grains.

Do you know what the fittest, lowest body fat, endurance athletes consume in mega doses? Sugar and carbs.

Is it an ideal diet? Not at all. But it's fuel, and it works when you need it to.

People are fat because they aren't justifying their caloric intake. They just shovel it in, even when they've exceeded the 1800 calories needed to just sit on their ass all day.

There is no obesity if you're active (excluding actual medical reasons like thyroid dysfunction or perscribed steroids).

Blaming "the industry" is as lazy as not wanting to be active.

Grain consumption, in case you weren't aware, is a keystone trait among the healthiest people in the world ("Blue Zones"). Grain consumption is also high in vegans, who happen to also have low (healthy) BMI.

It's not impossible, it just requires incentive. I've dropped 30 pounds this year by eating better (and much less) despite having a basket full of Hostess products sitting on the shelf and 2 liter bottles of sodas in the fridge. We just need to WANT to stop pigging out at every meal. For me, it was my cholesterol going through the roof of the skyscraper at my check-up this year (I was over 800! I think 150 is supposed to be the highest you go without being in danger) and generally being uncomfortable after every meal. Groceries get a lot cheaper when you're only eating half as much, and allows me to afford buying better quality foods.

ah, yes, more ketobro science. Fat is good, despite having twice the calories of sugar!
