There is a recent movement in America that can be neutrally summarized as obesity prescriptivism. (I won't use the language either of its proponents or critics. By the way, I am super-proud of everyone in this thread as of the time I'm posting - though it's only 9:30 AM East coast, 6:30 West Coast on a Sunday, so that the quality of responses might drop soon. Let's do our best to keep it high.)
My recommendation is to be able to opt out, for example via a smart phone setting that shows that an individual has opted out of obesity prescriptivism. As a practical matter, for example this may allow them to be shown menus with 500-1100 calorie entrees (or less), whereas obesity prescriptivism would require that such choices not be shown. I'm careful not to use the language of either side. These are the facts of the current situation.
