According to what’s known as the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis, early humans compensated for the energy used in their heads by cutting back on the energy used in their guts; as man’s cranium grew, his digestive tract shrank. This forced him to obtain more energy-dense foods than his fellow-primates were subsisting on, which put a premium on adding further brain power. The result of this self-reinforcing process was a strong taste for foods that are high in calories and easy to digest; just as it is natural for gorillas to love leaves, it is natural for people to love funnel cakes.

That's not an offensive suggestion to most people, remember. Meat is highly nutritious and calorific, and would help you add mass if that's what was needed.

Not bad since in the last two years I've managed to lose about 18 kg (bmi 31!!!)
How did I manage do go in (a bit less than) 2 years from obese to just slightly overweight? Almost eliminated bread, reduced pasta, reduced cheese, increased meat and vegetables. I already didn't eat many fried foods, or sweets.

It's an offensive suggestion to someone who fully beleives that eating meat is immoral to me, even at the expense of my own health. Hmmm I'm not helping myself here.

The book’s authors—Francis Delpeuch, Bernard Maire, Emmanuel Monnier, and Michelle Holdsworth—observe that, while Americans were the first to fatten up, they no longer lead the pack. “Like it or not, we have no choice but to face up to the numbers: current data reveal that in Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Malta, and Slovakia, the proportion of overweight adults is actually higher than in the U.S.,” they write. In Asia, Africa, and South America, too, obesity is on the rise. Although nearly a billion of the world’s most impoverished citizens still suffer from too few calories, Delpeuch and his colleagues note that it’s those living just above the poverty level who appear to be gaining weight most rapidly.

Now they are stuffed with it.
Unless you are rich enough to afford alternatives, you have to feed your kid this awful stuff.
and then we blame the kids for getting fat.
Crack down on the companies which stuff unnecessary sugars into our food!
