it was this one

it was interesting, basically Nixon's agricultural minister industrialised American farming, this lead to excess corn, that corn instead of going to waste was refined to make corn syrup. Corn syrup was then added to other foods to make them sweeter, corn syrup contains fructose, fructose is a type of energy which is not only very fattening but actually seems to suppress your body's 'I'm full' reflex.
the WHO organisation was going to set fructose & sugar limits in food, but the food industry said 'FUCK YOU', so they've settled on trying to promote low fat foods instead.
So your fat because: America
