It seems pretty obvious that the massive injection of sugar in the 60s and 70s into diets paved the way for pretty much everything else that followed(snacks, fast food, convenient food, etc). I guess we can all ignore that diabetes is driven by insulin resistance and the body's inability to process glucose, which is conveniently also the predominant thing in our food today, because we would rather look the other way and continue living in a fairy tale...that is until we are disease ridden in our 40s, at which point we can live out the rest of our lives on meds and in the hospital.
