'Spiritual element'?
I agree that there are some conspiracies between diet food companies and
disreputable 'research' facilities, but also look at the following:
http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/5218.html
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/obesity/DS00314 (no, not a clinic
devoted to mayonnaise)
Are you suggesting that the overwhelming evidence of the dangers of
obesity is simply a marketing trick?
I think you're being overly nit-picky about weights by height and don't
see the relevancy of food preservation, refrigeration, antibiotics or
any of your other items. I'm talking about obesity, not just being a
few pounds overweight.
And it's not a fight: It's a discussion. We're exchanging ideas,
opinions, options and suggestions, not blows or missiles.
