I love fried food and salt. How dare they take it off me? I am not fat, I exercise, all is well. How stupid to think that obesity has anything to do with the food on the shelves.
Part two.

Quite right, the food on the shelves has nothing to do with obesity.
It is eating it that causes the problem.

I don't know why, but I have an amusing story about it! A few months before Burger King closed down (sob!) in my town I went there at lunch time for a takeout. As I know the routine I asked the server to put a couple of sachets of salt in the bag, because you had to actually ask them for it as it wasn't available for the taking! Walked the long walk back to my desk and emptied the bag - No Salt! I had in my possesion a couple of sachets of "Lo-Salt", an apparently healthy alternative! Scouring the building I managed to find some real heart-attack salt so I was happy!
The next day I went back to BK to complain about the abuse I had suffered at their Politically Correct hands, and I got free burgers for two weeks as compensation! I am a very loud man and the manager was very timid so I'm not sure if this would work for everyone, but it sure worked for me!

We as individuals follow patterns - If your parents are or were over weight you are likely to be over weight what you ate in your childhood will be what you tend to eat in your adult life and feed to your children.
Of course people break out of these pattern systems and social pressure and costs causes further changes. Most families do not sit together for the main meal of the day as they did once.
Thus our control over what we eat has fallen to the corporations who devise quick and easy meals that give us what we want - sugar, salt and fat.
We love these foods and though some of us may not be fat we have an army who cannot find soldiers who can complete basic training like they did in the fifties.
Most of us are not as fit as the generation that preceded us despite medical improvements beyond belief.
So with the next generation likely to bankrupt the country with its medical bills and the possibility it will not live as long as the current generation some people are trying to stop this happening by changing the nature of our diet.
You can say what you like about your health but if you eat processed food you are not healthy and will pay for it. Just like Mr smoker who lives to ninety, smoking sixty a day is paying for it despite his denials and claims that he is fit.

It's not just about obesity, it's about cholestorol levels aswell. Everythings ok in moderation though so I do kind of agree with you.

I totally agree as long as we take everything in moderation we should be fine, I hate them taking salt,sugar etc out of things cos they lose their taste and I for one stop buying them. eg. cornflakes.

I don't think they are trying to take it off you, just tell you how much is in it. Fair enough, ain't gonna stop me eating it!
