How is that a reasonable response at all?
As I said, its sad, are you over weight ?.
That doesn't really have any bearing on the discussion, does it?
The fact of the matter is this: the american public was advised by the USDA to eat in ways that we now know are quite unhealthy - the advice was to eat approximately twice the bread and grains that are now advisable, and that much carbohydrate demonstrably leads to both obesity and risk of diabetes.
Many people followed this advice in good faith, and became overweight and sick. Recent science tells us it's extremely difficult to take off that weight and successfully keep it off.
Yet, your position is that people are too stupid to eat properly. How the actual fuck are they supposed to know this when the authority tasked with providing that information gave such horrible advice (in hindsight), and now many of those same people have irreversible health conditions?
I expect another reply that reeks of smug superiority.
