The number one reason 60% of America is overweight and over 30% obese is people choose to remain uninformed about the consequences of thier eating habits. People, AuntyM comes to mind are looking for the silver bullet cure for an epidemic. The epidemic is lack of knowledge of information that is widely available to them. It is much more convieniant and socially acceptable to place blame on a single food or macro-nutrient then to change eating habits and create a healthy diet. A quick look back through the fat free 80's and low carb-90's shows us blaming one part of a diet is not solving our weight issue. Overweight and obesity numbers continue climbing every year and will continue to do so.
