Eating more calories than you burn makes you fat. Skinny people ate bread for millinia.

It's a scene in a fun movie, not a dietitian's thesis.

It does beg the question of my garlic bread and pasta "go together". Pasta, butter, bread, garlic and tomatoes is NOT a meal.

Is this actually a combination to the rest of the world? If this is just a US thing, maybe it’s from the “low fat” diet that made us all fat

I don't know about the rest of the world, but this meal has very little protein or fiber in it. I think there can be value to fat, but if a meal is mostly fat and carbs.... Then can it really be that good for you? Won't you be hungry again in an hour?

Throughout most of my life ….

everyone pushed the “food pyramid” as a guide to healthy choices, but that was way overweighted in carbs
general recommendation was to eat less fat to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health…. But that fat tended to be replaced by more carbs
eating less meat was pushed for a variety of “health” reasons, so replacing meat with more carbs must be good, right?

We’ve had decades of poor nutritional recommendations, even poorer habits, and corporations pushing “healthy” options that are not. It’s been getting a bit better, all too slowly, but we have a couple generations facing the consequences of poor eating

In my humble opinion it's not carbs that are the boogey man, but particularly the ones in the pasta and bread you normally buy at the store. White bread.

I think if you had a little more Quinoa and potatoes and skipped the beef, you'd be in a better place than eating beef meatballs, tomato sauce, and white pasta. My two cents.

Everything is a trade off, to a degree.

Anything's a meal if you eat enough of it

Any meal is a dildo if you try to eat enough of it.

Most heavily processed foods can make you fat, because they're typically very high cal for their total mass.
