I completely agree 51 however we cannot overlook the dominance of processed food today vs say those of us that grew up in the 50's,60's and 70's where meals were cooked from scratch, not just reheated like so many processed foods today.

Also today the percentage of meals eaten at home vs at restaurants has totally changed and this plays a huge role too. I don't just mean fast food but its salt and fat content are terrible. Almost all restaurants provide meals that are way too high in calories and many other things for the vast majority of the humans they serve.

So you combine those two factors and add the bombardment of advertising that has made the two above facts a reality today and you see its a big challenge. Never has trying to eat healthy been a challenge for the majority. As to the poor they are really behind the 8 ball. Their choices both financially and geographically put them further behind the 8 ball. Poor neighborhoods are often called food deserts because often the closest grocery store with good foods, a meat department, fresh fruits and vegetables is miles away. I know you won't agree on some of these points but they are true.

Would you like to comment on what has happened to the American Indian starting in the mid 20th century? Their rates of Diabetes are staggering, much higher than any other segment of the population. Also there are many factors at play for them that have their roots in economics.

Oh and I'd say 25-50% of parents are clueless or incapable for one of many reasons to "teach" their kids anyway.
