Food making you gain weight? Experts say it's not your fault.
According to a recent study, the average American consumes 20% more calories than they did in the 1970s. This shift is largely attributed to changes in the food supply, not personal choices. Experts now suggest that processed foods are engineered to be hyper-palatable.
Nutritionist Dr. Lisa Mosconi argues that the modern food system prioritizes profit over health. She highlights increased sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. These ingredients can disrupt natural hunger cues and lead to overeating.
The focus should shift from individual blame to systemic change. Addressing the food supply's impact is crucial for public health. Future research will explore policy interventions to promote healthier food options.
