    They do but it's never going to happen when supermarkets are full of addictive unnecessary crap.

    So legislate for what people can and can't eat?

    30 years too late, Bruno.

    And clearly you know nothing about drug addiction either.

    I know that when a person choose to use drugs the consequences are there own fault.

    Difficult for you grasp? or are you just fishing for thanks by attacking everything i say?

    And how is it you didnt say that to the person that compared food to drugs above? double standards.

    Indeed it is too late. It's a drastic solution. I know nothing like that will ever happen. It would work though! Is anything else working or going to work?

    You wouldn't. You'd be in food utopia.

    That's really funny.

    It's not being "on a diet." You don't count calories. You wouldn't need to.

    Now you hit the nail on the head for alot of cases! alot of people on here just like to come up with ridiculous complex reasons as to why people are obese when its simple.

    They are obese for one simple reason. They ingest food at a rate/quantity that adds lbs to their frame. The ability to stop and reverse this for some people is where the complexity lies.

    Well, yes that would be the cause. It affects people differently. If it was a simple issue, there probably wouldn't be eating disorders.

    But I agree that the cause needs to be tackled. There is worse food but people don't realise what they're eating is utter shi*e a lot of the time. A bit of education wouldn't go astray.

    Education is definitely an important aspect, because there are still a lot of people that don't realise how much sugar is in things like 'healthy option' smoothies, breakfast bars, juices, yoghurts etc.

    Not quoting some and pretending what they said would be a start
