A NYTimes food guy on NPR is talking about "Junk Food Pushers," and lobbyists, and bemoaning that no federal agency has the power to take on Big Food, and that's why we have this childhood obesity.
Obesity correlates most strongly with fatherlessness and food stamps.
But those are no fun to solve. It's much more fun to pretend that it's lack of nutrition education in the schools, or evil corporations.
A lot of effort goes into finding a target to blame for each problem that avoids collateral damage to a protected class.
