I struggled a lot with weight but not since a least a decade, and my take is that we are missing the problem. Yes it's simple math, but it's not about the people having poor control, the real problem is some type of food are just no match for our will, they are just brain hacks. I find staying in good shape very easy, but at the same I absolutely cannot resist some types of food if they are available. What I found is simple is not buying them. E.g. if I can only snacks almonds at home I will be full before getting fat, whereas it's possible to eat a whole meal calorie equivalent of potato chips or ice cream without feeling full. What is complex is that it's all dependent on your options depending on where you live, your social circle, and yes a bit of control. Kind of like the difference between trying to stop smoking and having the pack with the lighter ready in front of you vs being in a smoke-free environment. So it's a bit of both, people have a responsibility for their state, but it's not entirely their fault. Now without regulation (but how do we even start banning some mixes of sugar, fat and salt), what options do we have?
