I don't know about this, there's a lot of factors listed individually here but not in comnination. It could be something like "eats lots of sugar and doesn't move", like are those honey and starch eaters as sedentary as us? Then again, it woildn't totally surprise me if it were something like indoor lighting or something. Edit: The second article accounts for some combinatiins but not to my satisfaction. Also: > The USDA Economic Research Service estimates that calorie intake in the US increased from 2,016 calories per day in 1970 to about 2,390 calories per day in 2014. Neither of these are jaw-dropping increases. That does seem like a jaw-dropping increase if sustained over time and other varianles are held constant. So, huh? I have another idea though since it talks about lipostat theory: Isn't it known that cortisol exposure causes weight gain? What if it's simply that our life is morr stressful despite being objectively less chaloenging in some sense. This could be due to anything from less cardio to a bad news diet.
