Sure, you're right that the article isn't about weight loss, but the original comment I was responding to was: > Because a lot of people are suffering and dying of poor nutrition In the developed world, they're mostly suffering and dying because of overconsumption (or reasonable consumption of really high-calorie food). I'm not trying to say that I think it's as simple as 'put down the fork fatty!' or 'put the twinkie down!'. I'm saying that instead of focusing on 'oh don't eat too many carbs' or 'lower your salt intake' as a silver bullet to 'why is our nutrition shit?', we should maybe be asking those harder questions: why is it so hard to put down the fork? how can we make it easier to be conscious of our caloric consumption?
