Fruits haven't significantly increased in size or sugar content since the 70s though. And it doesn't explain the increase in weight for other animals that don't eat fruit, e.g. dogs. EDIT: And this article is terrible. E.g. the painting of the watermelon is just a regular watermelon just like those grown today: http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/weird-watermelons-beautiful-hollow-heart-fb__700.jpg http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07... That's just what it looks like when it grows without enough water. Most of those examples are things that happened centuries ago.

And here is and article about the 90 million obese, not overweight, but obese dogs and cats in the US. Admittedly I don't know much about the pet problem, but Seems to be the PHD from UCDavis suggests the major contributing factor is the increased and added sugar in their food from the major manufacturers and increase in pet treats which too are sugar laden. I mean if all I'm doing is suggesting sugar is a contributing factor as to human obesity and you bring up dogs and cats gaining weight why wouldn't you mention they have sugar added in their pet food and the sugar has been increasing? http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2011/01/18/sugar-in-pet-treats-and-pet-food-lead-to-obesity.aspx http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/201...
