The problem with any government “direction” regarding obesity is that they are too heavily influenced by lobbyists from the food industry and are ignorant to the real reasons why obesity is becomming an epidemic.
As someone who has lost over 100 lbs, I have a lot of personal experience to draw from on this topic. The food in our grocery stores is killing us. All government intervention, up to this point, has thrust more horrid products upon us and ignores well established science all in the name of garnering incresed contributions from the large agri-businesses. Screw them all!
Congratulations!

Bingo. It goes well beyond what is traditionally though of as junk food too. The portions and content of the American diet are so far out of whack, it’s a wonder 95% of Americans aren’t morbidly obese.
Piker, I have lost several thousand pounds, trouble is I seem to find it again.
Some nice research I read last week indicated that a deactivated gene in the heart, med 13, I think, when activated in mice led to obesity relief.
Hardly anyone was fat when I was a kid, we were raised on Beans and Potatoes, Corn, Green Beans, Corn, Corn Bread and lots of lard.
Hitler proved with out a doubt, if you lock people up and work them hard and feed them very little, 100% of them will lose weight.
