The level of transparency in what is in the food supply, on the other hand, is atrocious. |

In California now, you have to have the nutritional content posted and the calories and fat listed next to the menu item. So you walk into a TOGO's or Taco Bell, and it says "Chicken Caesar Panini - 1120 cal, 36g fat" or "Crunchwrap Supreme - 920 cal, 26 g." And guess what? I've walked into those places, read the board, and then walked out and gone somewhere else to get something healthy. Therefore, based on my personal experience and not your hypothetical projections, I can say with 100% certainty... It ****ing works. |

You make a really huge assumption that all consumers are health educated. And that just knowing fat or sugar content is enough. More importantly, that there aren't consumers who try to eat healthy, but honest to god think a trip to panera for a sandwich and a diet coke is healthier. |

I'm surprised this hasn't turned into a thread about pizza or Alex Smith yet.

Watch the first half of the documentary "Fat Head" sometime. It was an answer to "Supersize Me", where the film maker ate every meal at McD's except didn't stuff himself like Morgan Spurlock did. He lost weight and had his health markers (BP, cholesterol, etc) improve. Then there was the nutrition professor that put himself on the Twinkie Diet and ate mostly junk food for 10 weeks (but kept the calories low - 1800/day) and lost weight and had his health markers improve. I don't advocate (and have never said) to eat at McD's or eat junk food all of the time. Eating a mostly whole food diet is what I think is healthful (and what I strive for). However, if I'm on the road and choose to eat at fast food place due to time/cost, I don't freak the **** out about like some apparently do. |

By the way, as someone who has Celiac Disease and has to know what's in his food, I am all for full disclosure labeling, both in the store and in restaurants. I also like calorie info at restaurants because it makes it easier to figure out how to make food more reasonable (for example, leaving the mayo off of a Whopper cuts more calories than you would think).
I just wish people would educate themselves more on what really matters and not just freak out because some Internet or TV guru tells them they should. |

You're absolutely right. Moderation is fine. But many people try and think they are moderating, but don't because they don't realize they're eating like suit. |

Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance that is in a lot of foods naturally including milk and vegetable juice that our bodies handle just fine. In fact, formaldehyde plays an essential role in our metabolism. It is converted to formate (folic acid) and used to synthesize DNA in the cells. However, since it's toxic when inhaled (or ingested in large doses), the scare-mongers can get everyone would up by shouting "formaldehyde is a poison" or by associating it with embalming fluid for the "ick factor". |

Except that it had an effect on MY obesity rate, so all of your info is completely pointless, and completely wrong.

These studies are pointless, because one person thinks it worked for them.... OK then... I guess that's a wrap....
