Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but exercise is a key component to peoples weight.
Michael Phelps eats like a 600 pound person, but works out enough to burn all the food off.
Eating "healthy" is cool and all, but you still have to burn off what you eat. And eating "healthy" doesn't mean you get to eat however much you want.
If you eat 5 salads with dressing, its not healthy. THAT is the biggest sham. Something "healthy" BEFORE the meal.
Obesity is absolutely 100% preventable. Exercise. Do it.

Look at the shite we are feeding ourselves, and no limit to sugary beverages. This shouldn't be a suprise to anyone.
Our food industry is in the hands of businessmen and is fricked.
Spot on. There has been a sea change in our collective attitude towards food and who prepares it. For example, 60% of meals are prepared outside the home by someone the consumer will never meet.
53% of Americans ate at a McDonald's within the past 30 days. The lack of time given to preparing meals in the home from basic ingredients is at an all-time low.
The key problem I see because of this change is the need for businesses to have repeat customers. To get people to consume their products, food industries are relying on taste as the main draw, not the healthiness of what they sell.
Sugar, salt and fat are driving sales of commercially prepared meals. They taste good. The other main selling point is ease of access. Drive-thrus, easily heated frozen meals and pop-open packages make it convenient for the customer to "eat on the go."
Very few people can remember what they ate just a few hours ago.

You can count on the experts to change their minds every few years to sell some books and keep their research relevant. Common sense tells me that the old adage, "all things in moderation" still holds true.
I know people who try the latest expert recommendations and cut things out entirely who then get sick - I know correlation may not be causation. You can have moderate amounts of sugar, grains, juice, dairy, fat, booze, and just about anything short of poison and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Not to mention how much money there is to be made in drumming up fear of various kinds of food. Organic food companies love to find studies telling all the tin-foil hypgnosis brigade about how evil GMO and non-organic food is.
Except that the US is one of the only countries in the world who does not require GMO ingredients to be declared in ingredients listings. The lengths that Monsanto, Bayer, and the like are willing to go through to ensure that you don't know what's in the food you're eating is staggering. Other developed nations don't have this problem.
The grain industry, and grain subsidies, have combined to create a toxic brew of shite that people simply were never meant to consume - and it hides in everything. Corn, and corn derivatives, is in most of what is available for consumers. If you can cut out the lions' share of this shite, and that includes grain-fed livestock and corn syrup (straight poison), you will feel better.
My wife and I eat at home probably six nights per week. When I have to go out of town on business, and I have to eat out, I feel like garbage for a few days when I get back.

While not completely excusing ConAg and the other giant "food manufacturers". There is a thing called personal responsibility in what you eat and what you shovel down your kids throat.
ConAg is only supplying what's selling, right? If everyone choose to eat smarter and healthier, maybe they would change their product.

My 10 year old is 4'6" and weighs 74 pounds, which is a inch above average and 4 pounds above average! I couldn't imagine him at 340 pounds. Parents need to be in jail.

Grains aren't causing the obesity though. It's sodium and preservatives and growth hormones in processed foods. You think the hormones put in cows and chicken to make them grow big and fat real quick don't affect children's growth?

US farm raised catfish is absent of any growth hormones or artificial additives.
I suggest everyone get healthy and eat more catfish

The soda's the secondary problem. Soda's been around for a long time. The problem is kids don't go outside anymore.

Shut your whore mouth. Grass fed beef sucks balls.

Grass fed beef isn't as fatty or flavorful in general, but it is better for you than grain fed.

To each their own, but I much prefer grass-fed.

I heard a piece on PBS about a report from England that schoolyard playground injuries are almost a thing of the past because no one goes outside and plays these days. Visits to the Emergency Room from schools are down more than 90% from 30 years ago.

Your point on personal responsibility is not lost on me and I agree. However, this issue isn't that black and white...at all.

Yep, they're supplying what's selling to fast food restaurants and we get the same shite in stores because of that. You're absolutely right that it could change, but we are 180 degrees from that happening. They're aren't just supplying what the people want, that bs. Decades ago, they told the people what they want and here we are in this mess.
I don't think that it's just the food and much has to do with diet as has been pointed out. Whomever stated that it's cheaper to eat healthy is full of shite. Every time I go to the store I see this cheap, processed garbage for a lot less than food with actual nutritional value. Our food supply is controlled by an alarmingly small group and that is a little bit scary to me.

They did't get that way eating school lunches, but now the rest of kids have to eat shitty practically inedible meals at school in the name of 'stopping childhood obesity'.
There were and are more 'hungry and underfed' kids at the school than there were obese ones, so now the hungry ones can't even get what may have been their best chance at a decent meal that day.
Thank you Michelle Obama. Wish you had to live on the same crap.
