Cake and ice cream did exist 50 years ago, and I doubt it was any healthier back then. Anyway, nobody doubts that excessive calorie intake causes obesity. The question is whether some chemicals in food cause an increased desire for excessive calorie intake, e.g. via confusing our hormone system.
Most thin people aren't just thin because they eat less, they are thin because they don't have a disposition for binge eating. They just aren't as hungry.

Cake and Ice cream 50 years were ago were likely healthier and would have been healthier still going farther back. They'd have likely used fewer ingredients, less sugar (and less HFCS), and contained fewer microplastics/PFAS. Much of the ice cream sold in stores today can't even legally call themselves ice cream! They're "Frozen dessert products"
