What is your secret?

Here's a link to the spreadsheet I'm using, direct from the USDA.

http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/foodconsumption/spreadsheets/foodloss/Calories.xls#Percents!a1

So this doesn't tell me a whole lot. CDC chose to present their data differently than you did from the raw USDA data. I'd say its inconclusive at best. Just like most studies once you start comparing them.

Ugh.

Tiger's data is current (2009), Your data is from 2000.

Just like a good little Taubsian you're attempting to use outdated data to support your premise while more current data exists.

Think about it for a second. In 2000, we were coming off of the "low-fat" 80's and 90's. OF COURSE carbs were up and fat was down.

Since then, carb intake has dropped (percentage-wise) yet people continue to get fatter.

Tiger also neglected to include carbs from nuts and dairy products. The point is, there are many different ways to interpret the data.

And in the interest of parity, I also left out the protein and fat content in the nuts and dairy. Since Dairy consumption decreased, and nuts increased by roughly 20 calories, I didn't see either as being necessary to include.

Yeah but every food on that spreadsheet has varying degrees of carbs. So to get the most accurate results, you'd have to factor out how an item that increased in consumption compares to one that decreased by normalizing the carb density. Not worth anyone's time in my opinion.

I just don't see Ron's argument that just because your raw data is from 2009, that it is more valid than the data I used which was already interpreted by supposed experts. Obesity didn't just start, it was already pretty bad in 2000. Also I did read somewhere recently that the obesity epidemic has stalled in growth.

No but really, there isn't really a secret. When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm not, I don't. I don't eat junk food (often). I drink a lot of water. I exercise regularly. Boom.
