They Just Don't Get It

According to this article UK government food experts say that the best way to fight obesity is to lower the amount of fat and sugar in treats. I could not disagree anymore on this topic. Sweet treats and salty snacks should be taken in moderation and people should be taught that. If you lower the sugar and fat it lowers the enjoyment people get from these snacks and therefore makes them crave them even more. What the government (UK or otherwise) should focus on is the amount of sugar and fat in non-treat type foods. Do you have any idea how much sugar is in some no fat yogurt?

Gah, I totally agree. So little of our daily calories (even as candy reviewers) comes from candy. Why reduce the calories in something that only makes up 10% of your daily calories.

They need to reduce overall portion sizes for meals.
