Absolutely incredible talk from Kevin Hall. First key point: In the U.S., we have an extremely efficient agricultural system for producing calories. Interestingly, while total food supply has increased since the 1970s, two-thirds of those add’l calories now end up in the trash.

And perhaps the most intriguing data presented by Kevin Hall at #NLASessions: Interim analysis from a fascinating trial suggests UPFs may not inherently drive weight gain; instead, it’s energy density and hyperpalatability of the UPFs that is associated with ad lib energy intake
