Actually it’s not wheat that’s causing an obesity epidemic in the U.S., it’s corn. High Fructose Corn Syrup and corn based snack foods to name a couple.
I think you’re right. Not sure how much of a role wheat plays but they’re putting HFCS in everything so it’s next to impossible to get away from it entirely unless you make everything from scratch.
No one food, just way too much of it. About two years ago, I was in a fast food place when I realized that the smallest soda they had (16 oz) was the extra-large of the 1960s. Ditto, the second smallest burger was the BIG burger back then. Burgers have gone from 2 oz to over 5 on the average.
@WillardMBaker, Yup. Just about any type of processed food has corn in it in some form. But wheat isn’t quite wheat anymore either. They add too much gluten. Better off eating whole foods. :)
Betty is a smart, savvy comic character who is unapologetically ordinary, happy and female. Betty is a truly modern woman - a wife, mother and working woman.

EVERYTHING is bad for you if you eat too much of it.

I agree. We have to learn to eat everything in moderation.
