Telling someone to eat fresh tomatoes instead of tomato BBQ sauce is simpler than getting many people to understand that diabetes comes from sugar and simpler that making them try to stick to keeping track of how much sugar they intake. Also, it isn't just sugar. In the presence of fiber sugar can be less damaging, so telling someone to eat a banana is simpler than telling someone to keep track of the amount of sugar they eat, and to make sure that they have some oatmeal when they have a snack. This is what we're dealing with: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0210.pdf http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0210.p... 40% of people my age are over 200 pounds. It's mind blowing. And then there is this graph: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://bradpilon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Picture-4.png&imgrefurl=http://bradpilon.com/weight-loss/body-fat-when-average-isnt-good-enough/&h=336&w=514&tbnid=DMYoh1KPPBZL2M:&zoom=1&docid=W_Rd6jq4QrV_EM&ei=0MxgVd7vBs-kyASQ7YLYCA&tbm=isch&ved=0CBwQMygAMAA&biw=831&bih=496 http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://bradpilon.com/wp-c... Almost 90% of men are over the ideal weight (not to confused with "overweight" which is a complete misnomer due to the normalization of high body fat), and it is even worse for women. This is the largest source of preventative deaths in America and much of the world and it is primarily due to the rise of processed foods which remove things like fibre and other nutritious food-elements.
