Sort of splitting semantic hairs, no? Can’t become obese without eating at a caloric surplus, whether your diet is fresh veg or high fructose corn syrup.

While consuming more than you burn will lead to weight gain regardless of what you eat, I think modern foods are more likely to cause this because of the addictiveness of their high sugar levels, and also the fact that each item contains a LOT of calories… it would be much harder to get fat binge-eating celery than it would be for Doritos.

There is less than 1g of sugar in a serving of Doritos

"serving"

What size is a "serving", and how does it compare to what people actually in practice eat?
