A lot of theories set out to explain the sudden rise in obesity in the post-1980 United States but the more I kick the tires on that the more it looks like there actually wasn’t a sudden change and weight gain is a very long-term trend. https://t.co/75BXYNDq1q — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of the twentieth century there were a lot of concerted efforts to eliminate hunger in the United States, it was largely successful, and the share of underweight people fell substantially. https://t.co/75BXYNCSbS https://t.co/2uaSAjQD89 — PolitiTweet.org
