According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity in the U.S. population increased from about 12% in 1991 to about 34% in 2006, and about 42% in 2017. Although part of the reason is our increasingly sedentary lifestyle, the principal cause is our overconsumption of abundant processed food products, many of which are high in fat and sugar content. The FDA recommends, based on a 2,000 calorie diet, that adults should consume around 78 g of fat per day.
