The thing is, the fat guy didn't disprove CICO, which he thinks he did. He started eating more satiating foods with more fiber and felt fuller longer. He also upped his workout regime to something more intense. Some of the attempted "gotcha!" moments in the story and graphics also just don't hold much water. The teeny tiny difference in calories from warm toast to cold toast doesn't account for people packing on hundreds and hundreds of pounds. Eating food that doesn't satiate them and being sedentary lardasses does. The timeline and blame for sugary products in Mexico is also way, way off. NAFTA opened the door for some more junk food, yes. But indigent Mexicans have been drinking Coke all day every day because Mexico doesn't provide infrastructure or clean water for their people. That's been going on for decades. They also blame it on the US: although Coca Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, bottling plants around the world are locally owned and operated. So someone besides Whitey was getting rich off their decaying teeth and expanding waist lines.
