The only thing that makes you get fat is too many calories. If you eat a reasonable amount of calories and a fairly varied diet, it is unlikely that you are eating enough sugar to make much of a difference. The issue comes when you eat a diet that is mostly carbs which break down into sugar or, as with 99.99999% of people, you eat too damn much of it. Get in your daily vegetables and protein and you can't possible go over the sugar limit because you won't have the calories left to do it.

Basically it comes down to taking fucking responsibility for yourself and what you put in your body. No one forced you to eat shitty food, you decide to do it. You have no one to blame but yourself if it makes you unhealthy.

Agreed that too many calories is certainly the cause of becoming fat (though I will say that calories are processed differently based on the individual microbiome, but that just means some people need to eat less. Too many calories is always the issue). I 100% agree that a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of protein and veggies is the best way to circumvent having too much sugar. Making stuff from scratch is certainly delicious. I also 100% agree that people need to take responsibility for their diets. Fats will say "I'm not lazy" but never cook because 'they don't have time', when they have enough time to bitch on social media about people calling them fat. If they spent the time and energy they waste on eating too much and calling people mean on the internet, instead using their time better to cook proper meals and eat less shit food, then they wouldn't be fat and wouldn't be calling people mean on the internet for calling them fat.
