Orbach.
I have read the Orbach book as well. I think that what she is saying is true. It is very sad. I minored in Women's Studies, and we had many a conversation on this topic. Although it must be said that the "buckets" of soda and all the "super sizing" should not be blamed on the food industry. Is it their job to police what we want? NO. Is it their job to tell us what size drink to get? no. It is our responsibility to check our own diet. It cannot be blamed on any one else. EVER. If you are under the age of 10 years old, it is up to your parents to make sure they feed you healthful foods. Parents who only feed their kids crap should be drawn and quartered. What about when you want to buy a 20oz soda 5 years down the road and some lawyer caused the government to arrest you b/c your yearly quota was lowered to 5oz after his major tort lawsuit. Sounds great!!??!! Well, quit blaming the industry, and blame yourself. Get out and exercise. That is what we should say to the american "society." How many people out there complaining are drinking every thursday, friday, saturday night and eating Gumby's at 2:30. Thought so.
