> Can't we just educate people about things and use some self control to tackle these kind of issues How has that been working out so far?

  For me personally, rather well. By girlfriend has taught me to love chocolate so much that we only buy the most exquisite kind and savour it. A box of sweets can stay opened in the living room for weeks, sometimes with some pieces half-eaten. I think it comes down to a certain healthy degree of (acquired) snobbery towards what you eat. If availability of food is no longer a concern, snobbery can very well take it's place! For example I could not imagine treating myself to eating a Hershey bar or Dunking donuts or whatever. Same as I wouldn't eat off the garbage bins behind a restaurant.

    Great. This isn’t about you though, it is about everyone. And it isn’t working for them.

      True. If we talk about everyone, then in a society where you are far more likely to suffer from obesity than starvation or malnutrition, "everyone" is doing a disservice to their children by not raising them to be the biggest most obnoxious food snobs ever.

    Good for you. Must be great to have enough energy and willpower from a carefree life.
