I recently lost 40 pounds. It took me about 20 attempts over 15 years to finally get it right, so I'll never be one to lecture anybody on how much they should weigh or what they should be eating. But I know one thing for sure: my weight loss was a concerted individual effort by me. No social engineering program could ever have swayed me one way or the other. Take the fast food restaurants out of my neighborhood? I'd still find a way to eat to much of the wrong things if that was what I wanted to do. Governments can't make people skinny and shouldn't try. People make themselves skinny, if they really want to be.
