A lot of the problem with obesity is our food industry. Do you know that cereal companies and cookie companies employ food scientists to formulate our food to make us crave more? Ever wonder why you can't stop at just one bowl of cereal, or one cookie? It's not will-power-- it's how the food has been engineered to make you not feel full.

Another problem is the widespread attitives such as high fructose corn syrup and the transfats. And, even though a label may say the food contains no trans fats.. it still might. If it's below a certain percentage per "serving" (and who ever eats one serving?) a food company can claim "no trans fats."

So if you see the words "hydrogonated" or "partially hydrogenated" or "high fructose corn syrum" --- run! Once you start reading food labels, you'll be horrified at how wide spread these very unhealthy ingredients are.
