Why the Fuck?
Obesity isn't a problem, it's an effect. People eat crap and don't work out and the media doesn't help.<p>Whether problems are 'real' is a point of perception. Obesity and the high rate of diabetes are only a problem in ignorance of the cause. That's yours to fill in. The same goes for the banking crisis, political scams and the facade we call democracy (<a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democracy/" rel="nofollow">http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democracy/</a>).<p>I totally agree we should be addressing real issues in our society, however, addressing effects is like duct taping a drain - temporary.
