Comment: I can't lighten up

When people suggest things like Jello and Wonder Bread are normal and healthy to eat so we should all just get over ourselves.

There are people who are desperate and dying because they are being told that the foods which are making them fat are actually healthy for them. They are eating them in moderation, they are eating less and exercising more, but they can't lose any weight. They have no idea what is going on, because everyone tells them that it is THEIR fault they are fat; that THEIR laziness got them to where they are, even though they are struggling their hardest and doing exactly what the experts are telling them to do. And it is heartbreaking.

It's time for this to change. Real info needs to get out there. The past 35 years have been a huge government-led experiment in changing the diets of people the world over. It has failed spectacularly, and a lot of people haven't yet realised why we are where we are right now: rates of diabetes skyrocketing, obesity an epidemic, and people having MORE heart attacks despite the twin blessings of statins and reduced consumption of fat.

So, I'm sorry, but this isn't a topic for levity.
