      Fascinating statistics. As obesity rates have skyrocketed in the US and UK, sugar consumption has declined rapidly. This is a serious problem for anyone promoting sugar consumption (especially food companies adding sugar) as the cause of the problem. https://twitter.com/ggkuhnle/status/1092143217213140993 …

      For comparison, overweight and obesity rates. There is an inverse relationship between sugar consumption and obesity in the US. The problem is not sugar, it's not fat, and it's not carbs. It's time to stop proposing individual solutions for societal problems.pic.twitter.com/wihZ3INl0p

      Some people have mentioned that this decline has been offset by sweeteners besides sugar, particularly HFCS, which is true up to a point. However total US sweetener usage still peaked in 1999, and has been declining ever since. http://www.stephanguyenet.com/bad-sugar-or-bad-journalism-an-expert-review-of-the-case-against-sugar/ …pic.twitter.com/A2wivQk84E

      what do you think the reason is?

      Structural overproduction in agriculture probably doesn't help, but that crisis predates the beginning of the obesity epidemic by some distance

      That doesn't sound right to me at all. The problem is not that there's too much food, but that people don't self-regulate the appropriate amount. In fact the people who struggle the most to pay for their meals tend to be more obese, rather than less.

      Sure, but food prices aren't the reason people are struggling to pay. Housing, medical care, transportation and education have all gone up steeply in price over that period, but food hasn't, at least to my understanding.

      Sure, but it's not like we'd be better off if they were higher though, except the extent that poor people had to temporarily starve themselves and their families more often.

      Oh, no, it's not that we should grow less food. It's just that capital has for almost a century been capable of producing an amount of food that is problematic to its own reproduction
