Experts Question US Approach to Obesity

Experts Question US Approach to Obesity

Experts are questioning why people are getting fatter and how the government and food industry are handling it.

Research shows that highly processed foods, with lots of salt, sugar, and fat, may be the problem.

A scientist found that people ate more calories from these foods, but it wasn't because they tasted better.

Some think these foods might be addictive or mess with your body's signals that tell you when you're full.

The government allegedly tried to downplay these findings.

Some believe it may be possible to make food that's tasty, cheap, and doesn't make people gain weight.
