That Lucky Charms sifter might have seemed like the perfect Christmas gift, but it will obsolete in 600 years! Obesity researcher Stephan Guyenet obtained rare data of American's sugar intake since the early 19th century and found that "in 1822, we ate the amount of added sugar in one 12 ounce can of soda every five days, while today we eat that much sugar every seven hours." The increase of sugar in our diet has been so steady, Guyenet is able to illustrate that Americans will be eating 100% sugar by 2606.

One commenter on Guyenet's piece points out, "It will asymptote towards 100% but never get there, as there is always some protein and fat," but that disclaimer doesn't make for sexy Health Department ad copy. What might work? "The Future is The Fly."
