I’m usually not more than casually interested in this kind of work (both generally biology stuff and specifically weight related stuff) but I found this to be absolutely fascinating.

Briefly, this post appears to lay out compelling evidence that the obesity epidemic has its root in some kind of environmental “contaminant” — something new in the environment in the last 100 years, that became prevalent in the 80s, and follows some physical laws like accumulating in watersheds etc.

However I have no idea if any of it is remotely reasonable, I don’t have the skill to read the linked studies, etc. Anyone here have experience with this blog and can speak to whether I’m going down some weird conspiracy rabbit hole?
