[lbo-talk] obesity niche-marketing

[Michael Dawson]

Are you saying there isn't a national obesity epidemic and/or that obesity
isn't a problem and/or that corporate capitalists don't have a big hand in
it?  What percentage of the population could routinely ingest 2200 calories
and 140 grams of fat just from main meal entrees (not counting the fries and
sodas and between-meal snacks) and not suffer ill health consequences?
