100% agree. We have a societal problem that is currently only solvable on an individual level, and that's just not gonna fly.

To an extent. There's a reason our bodies are designed to crave carbs, after all. But in today's food environment, calories can be a big problem. We really don't need as many as one would think.

Obesity is not an indicator that a child is well fed, it’s a sign the child is over fed. And many, probably most, obese children are malnourished because they’re not eating nutrient dense food. So they’re getting calories, but not vitamins and minerals.

Because Ashkenazi Jews generally marry other Ashkenazi Jews, so we all end up with similar genes, which means similar deformities (for lack of a better term).
