If you're talking about the general chatter about how being fat can be healthy, I think you're wrong.  Dead wrong.  Literally.

It's very much a part of the PC culture that has firmly taken root in our country, to make excuses and allowances for obese people.

To your earlier point about what can be done about it?  I don't know.  Maybe the US Surgeon General can ask Big Bird to tweet about it.

that may be true- but it gets amplified by all the idiots in online and tv media who love to stir up shit so they write stories displaying tweets by random idiots or throw them up on their shitty tv shows- to try to get the people watching/reading thinking this is what large amount of people on the twitter-net actually feel/think.

I cannot tell you how much I hate when I'm reading an article or watching a tv news program and they put up tweets from random assholes on the internet. It's like....who really gives a shit what any of these people say- and why are you parroting/promoting what a bunch of random retards on the internet say?

"We" may take it seriously, but "we" don't take it effectively.  There is a stronger social stigma in France against being fat, and it works, though I see a lot of young females smoking to maintain weight there.  We have lists of Calories in food items that few bother to read or consider.  That didn't work, I found food labeling to be useful.  I was surprised how much salt was in many things like canned tomatoes.  I've read some scary items about fructose, which is half of table sugar (and about half of HFC as well) and try and limit my sugar intake pretty hard.  Alcohol is my weak spot, I like wine too much.

I say the five major food groups are salt, sugar, fat, caffeine, and alcohol.  Just about any prepared food item in the US has a lot of 3 of those in it.

Salt sugar and fat are cheap ways to make cardboard taste good.
