There is no big conspiracy to make the population fat and unhealthy. The industries such as the food suppliers and health companies simply react to needs in the market. People are over-weight because they eat too much of the wrong types of food.
Are they reacting to the needs in the market or are they creating them?

That's true.
The conspiracy is to make huge profits by giving as little value as possible and taking as much as they can.
This is done by monopolizing the food supply and it's distribution, and brainwashing the citizens to accept, and even demand more of the factory manufactured garbage that is offered as food.
Some see this as the normal workings of 21st century Corporate Capitalism.
Most people who are overweight eat too much. Simple solution to losing weight: eat less, exercise more.
You can either make up a bunch of excuses or face your demons.
This is EXACTLY RIGHT. I have gained 20 pounds the last year and you know why? i am eating too much!! No more excuses.......its up to the INDIVIDUAL to make the right choices. We are always looking for excuses

If you don't care about the pain and abuse of animals, you should be thinking of your own body.
You deny that animals are given antibiotics, growth stimulating drugs, hormones, and other drugs to keep enteritis and other conditions at bay? Eating a stressed animal probably gives you a good dose of their hormones too.
Sure, some people eat too much.
Sure, some people don't exercise.
But the obesity thing has come full circle, and despite everything out there, Americans are getting fatter. I think it's the growth hormones.
Thank you for this wonderful post. I have had adrenal fatigue in the past (test proven) from too much stress and too little sleep from a high-needs baby. It is very real and was the only time in my life when weight loss was literally IMPOSSIBLE - in fact my overzealous exercise at that time actually inhibited weight loss.
Glad it was diagnosed. Sometimes post partum thyroiditis can be a problem too.
You can find some naturally raised foods. Humane Farm Animal Care - Certifed Humane Raised & Handled - Related Links (broken link)
I buy the Cage Free Organic eggs from Egg Innovations. They list their chickens as "meets humane farm standards...including nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones, raised with shelter, resting areas, sufficient space, and the ability to engage in natural behaviors."
Cows, pigs, and ducks should have this kind of treatment too.
How can WE be healthy, if they aren't? They aren't healthy if they are abused.
Oh, and Born Free Eggs in California has the Cage-free and Cage-free Organic eggs too!
