Photos are anecdotes, not data.

Since agriculture took off as a way to reliably put more food into hungry
bellies, most people have eaten a lot of carbohydrates, and they have
always sought to refine those carbohydrates. Perhaps the modern problem
with obesity isn't just one thing. Perhaps it's the plain and simple fact that
we are not evolved to have an abundance of available calories at the
expense of very little effort.

Mark Hyman and Nina Teicholz might be right, but Hyman has no credentials
as a researcher and Teicholz is a journalist. They have found a way to monetize
their fringe medical beliefs.
