What freaks me out is when I see random clips in the street from the past:
"Whoa! Everyone is skinny!"
Maybe....?
"The truth will surprise you" - proceeds to list exactly what I'd guess, and what I'd guess other people would guess. (Less sugar, less processed food, less advertising, more active daily lives, less reliance on 'convenience', ...)
It's a decent video, but it is not at all 'surprising'. I'm sick of that hook.
You're absolutely right. The truth is not surprising at all but the author has fallen into lazy convenience as well. It's easy for all of us to do so.
