While many of us rather having the problem of being in need to slim down, for livestock one usually wants to fatten them up. So how is that achieved? By feeding foods high in fat?
Well, in the case of fattening a goose, carbohydrates (corn) are used, maybe that should make us think! Apparently especially fructose is to blame:

Fructose is found naturally in fruits and vegetable, but it’s also found in many sugars, from cane and beet to high-fructose corn syrup. Dr. Lustig says excessive amounts of dietary fructose is a problem and it doesn’t matter if the sugar comes out of the ground or is made in a factory. He points out sugars and sweeteners used in processed foods are half fructose, and it’s the fructose which is the problem.
