text: FAT and OBESE is an epidemic of mass proportions...literally.  This is as bad and probably worse than what cigarettes and their attack was.  Where is the federal and state action about this massive impact to our healthcare costs and our economies and of course to save our children as is so often cried.  I'm sorry, but fat and obese is UNHEALTHY and needs treatment.  While processed foods, GMO's and other such bad foods are complicit in this, the person on the end of the spoon is very largely to blame.
