I see the obesity epidemic, notice some brave souls fighting it, but I'm almost sure it'll go from bad to worse. Like many things, humans psyche works against us (or is easily used to trigger us to buy now more more), it isn't meant to deal with an overabundance of bad but delicious foods. As long as it is in the economic interests of the food supply chain to sell more, no awareness campaign no matter how good can stop people from eating the bad stuff that's so readily accessible. Only solution I see is a near ban on the bad stuff, enormous taxes, but I don't see that happening, first because of the industry lobby second because people will see it as too much interference in their lives. In a day and age where individualism and liberatism seem to become core values that's just not gonna happen. So we'll get some awareness campaigns, get some red stickers on a select few products, and in 20 years we'll think every fit person is an athlete.
