And what happened 40 years ago?

Dietary fat was demonized, along with dietary cholesterol, with animal products being the biggest sources of those fats.

The push was on to have everyone eat as low fat and low protein as possible - and focus on carbs.

Good grief... a graph showing animal protein and animal fat consumption vs weight gain over those years would surely show the connection.

Instead, we come up with weight loss surgery and drugs that ultimately affect your entire physical and mental health - and not in a good way, other than the number on the scale.
