Repeat after me: overeating is unhealthy. What you happen to overeat is beside the point.
This is demonstrably false. No respectable scientist believes in the calories-in-calories-out model of obesity anymore.
Q: "They don't drink juice? What do they drink?"
A: "Water."

She looked judgy and baffled at how hard-ass my wife and I were about juice. But juice is straight calories in the form of sugar. There's no fibre to slow absorption like you'd get with eating the whole fruit. It's not much better, calorically speaking, than soda.
And in addition to being unhealthy, having young kids wired on sugar also makes our life harder.

Go eat 5000 calories a day of veggies without becoming obese then. Just because calories isn't the only important factor in obesity does not mean its not a factor at all. Scientists are simply building a more sophisticated understanding of obesity that looks at many other factors.

It starts with "Since the early 1900s, medical research has shown that people do lose weight on calorie-restricted diets — in the short term. But in most cases, they quickly gain it back..." and goes onto the studies on things that actually do work long-term, like fixing your sleep, fixing your stress, and limiting carbohydrates in your diet.

But what complicates the situation is that what you eat affects how much you crave food, and what foods you crave, and how much energy you have, and how you sleep, etc.
Sugar seems to be bad on all of these ancillary fronts.
