so he calculated in 18 you know in the late uh 19th century so between mostly between 1830s and 1900s that obesity was 1.2 in america at least in men age 18 18 to 80.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
between 1900 and 1960 our obesity had already risen 11 fold so then by 1988 we're at 23 by 2005 34.3 percent 2011 35.7 2015 39.8 this is a 33-fold increase in obesity in a period of 115 years
from somewhere in the late 70s to early 80s to now we went from something like 15 percent of obesity to 43 of us adults
if you compare to the same demographic so middle-aged white men today you see that there was almost no obesity back then and today the obesity rate is something like for probably 45 for that same demographic
