Put the word "salad" on the menu, and I'll guarantee you some people will convince themselves that it's healthy and low-cal, no matter what the ingredients. I had lunch a few weeks ago with a weight-conscious (and mildly overweight) young lady who informed me in advance that she would have only a salad. So of course, she had a salad of baby greens (good, so far), topped with slices of blackened chicken (well... OK, if it stopped there, but...), bacon (a generous sprinkling), cheese (lots), and about a half-cup of blue cheese dressing. Of course, she had a Diet Coke.
Two weeks ago I started an exercise program, walking for 2-3 miles first thing in the morning. When I get used to this routing I will add jogging then running to this routine.
My goal: to be slim by Christmas for a grand family reunion!
how does culture force her to say the above?

Nonsense. Automobiles or televisions are not denying people the ability to exercise. Just because I drive down to the corner store does not mean I can't walk that same distance at some time that is more convenient for me.
One reason it's not going to change soon is that people don't like being told what to do. Especially because many of the people doing the telling have their own weird agendas about food.
Although I do not disagree with the basic trend discussed here - I am absolutely appalled at the dimwittedness, or sinister sleight-of-hand tricks of these "the sky-is-falling" doomsayers. Sure, arbitrarily change the weight standards overnight - using the riDICulous BMI standards - which has never been vetted in a discussion about real people, real weight and height ranges - and you can make anything sound like a universal crisis. Anybody ever READ these new standards that these breathless idiots are hyper-ventilating over?
Hey, I'm all for health and progress - but let's not let brainless YMCA pinheads suddenly change the rules and say "OhmiGOOOOooooood!! FerSure!! It's now like really BAAAaaad!"
LOL! This might be a clue as to why he's overweight. (What the heck is a Susy Q?)
