Indulgences like sodas and junk foods have long been blamed as the prime culprits responsible for worrying obesity trend…
“If you want to try and prevent obesity, or want to create policy that is going to help people, simply addressing the availability of junk foods and sodas isn’t going to do it...This isn't the difference between fat people and skinny people. It's other things” - Dr. David Just
“Simply put, just because those things can lead you to get fat doesn’t mean that’s what is making us fat,” says Just. “By targeting just these vilified foods, we are creating policies that are not just highly ineffective, but may be self-defeating as it distracts from the real underlying causes of obesity.”
