Why? Part of the reason is the high reliance on public transportation, walking and bicycling. Jack we just returned from Western Europe where residents seem more fit and healthy. Why?

The issues are really complex...even "eat less, move more" can be hard when people don't know how many calories they are eating. A typical fast food meal can give you an entire day's worth of calories! And our cheap food (yes, when compared to what it costs in other countries) contains lots of calories, fat, sugar, salt...it's expensive to eat well unless you really know what you're doing and how to cook. So blame the fatties, but they aren't the only ones to blame Linda in CT I'm sorry, Jack, but the solution to the obesity problem can't be answered in a sound bite.

We're an overweight society because the fools who have all this disposable income, despite our recession are eating their way into the record books. It is difficult to fathom the amount of food and the type of food people eat constantly, and the rationalizations they tell people like me, (as if I care why they're buying two pounds of some kinda pasta and 4 twice baked potatoes big steaks and a cake) and polish it all off with a diet cola. Then they get into their three ton SUV, drive home, gorge, watch TV, and get up the next day and do it again. My inlaws are the poster children for what I just described, unless of course they're eating out somewhere, having burgers, fries, hush puppies, dessert and, oh yeah, unsweetened iced tea. Why? because they can. I'm 52, and work part time in an "upscale" market, in the deli section, across from our bakery section. We're an overweight society because the

This would allow healthier food producers with better marketing and efficiency to compete with the producers of today that sacrifice America's health for profit.
