    Sugar was popular way before industrial food processing was a thing. If you look at old paintings of monarchs and other elite people, even pre-industrial food very frequently led to obesity if you were rich enough.

    And you can easily get fat without any sugar at all. Starch, meat and cheese done right is very tasty.

      No one is saying that what they are complaining about is the corporate dickheads that jam sugar into your starch meat and cheese. Plus starch is basically sugar anyway. But yes selecting fat kings I’m to lazy to look up which bias that is. Which kings what percentage of total royalty was obese where are your facts? It’s like you saw a cartoon painting and now you just have a feeling all kings were fat and rich people are kings.
