Why Do You Think.......

That with all the diets that have ever been introduced to us, and so many people having access to these diets, is the UK and the U.S. mostly overweight and obese? Do you think it's MAINLY from all the fast food that is so readily available? When I was growing up, sure-there was fast food, but we rarely ate it. My mom cooked a healthy dinner for us most nights. We had snacks in the house, but not a crazy amount, and there was absolutely NO soda. We had lots of fruits and vegetables always on hand. I was always rail thin as a child and an adult. I didn't start packing on the pounds until I had my daughter.

Moreless' answer to Caz28's post (the post just before this) should go a long way to answering your question.

Yes it did! Thank you!

The first one's a bit wrapped up in techeese but when you get to the summary points it makes a lot of interesting points, which ostensibly turn 'old' thinking about what constituted good eating, almost completely on it's head.
