Snacking Increased among United States Adults between 1977 and 2006.
Quote:
This study built on limited knowledge about patterns and trends of adult snacking in the US.
Results showed that snacking prevalence increased significantly from 71 to 97% in 2003-2006 with increases in both the 1989-1994 and the 1994-2006 periods.
In all adults, snacking occasions increased 0.97 events over this time period (P < 0.01) and the contribution of snacks to total energy intake increased from 18 to 24% (P < 0.01).
The energy density of snacks (food plus beverages) also increased progressively over the time period studied.
Important changes in snacking food sources were found among desserts, salty snacks, candies, and sweetened beverages.
More research is needed to gain a better understanding of the implications for overall energy intake and energy imbalance.

I think from this you can see why he is blaming fructose.
I've just found the actual paper that this article was based on.
