They are trying to hijack the normal control over the "activities" of daily life of our people. The reason we have obesity in American is that we have food in abundance because of our free society. We also have sedentary high tech games, etc., for our kids..Therefore, they are not outside playing ball, riding bikes and getting exercise. In fact, it is dangerous to allow your child to play ball or ride a bike out of your sight. I know a lot of fat people and to a person, they eat very well but they eat too much and too often. They are also picky eaters..Only the best will do. We have two children in our family who are exact opposites, reared by the same parents. One child has preferred raw veggies, etc., since birth. The other child will not eat if he cannot have a high carb meal. The child who eats high carb is very healthy and only slightly heavier than he should be. The parents force him to taste foods that are good for him but they cannot force feed him. Eating is a pleasurable and social activity and as long as food exists in abundance as it does today, people will eat what they want. The food police need to get lost!
