I don't know about you, but my family and teachers were at least as fat as I was. The ones that weren't were more likely to owe that fact to cocaine and/or nicotine than a healthy diet. They could all tell you that you needed to "eat right and exercise" -- to the point that it became a cliche, and I hate saying it to other people for that reason -- but none of them knew how to do those things properly. Society has all the info you need readily available, but you have to go looking for it (which is trivial in the age of Google and YouTube, but not so much even 20 years ago). Pushing "fat free" Twinkies and other nutritionally-bankrupt "food" is a lot more lucrative than selling broccoli.
