I was reading this article The Atlantic's by Marc Ambinder on his fight against obesity and it made me reflect on a lot of what I've been reading about obesity.

So here's the simple point on obesity (probably too simple) I'd like to make.

It's the food.

We eat highly engineered modern foods, we have learned to create foods that are highly abundant to ward off problems with food scarcity. This has been a terrific and altogether new feat in human history.
