Stephan Guyenet has written at length on the topic and it makes sense to me: the “why” is multifaceted, due to things like availability, palatability, etc. And these changes - like adding sugar - are probably due to marketplace evolution and forces that shape food production.

I am very open to the idea that it is multifaceted. I actually struggle to see how it could be any single thing. And I say this as someone that is convinced society consumed a lot of terrible things for a while. (Looking at you, trans fats...)
