There is so much societal disgust towards the overweight. Considering the majority of our population has become overweight, it's a curious sentiment.

Look at labels and try to find processed foods without added sugar in its various forms or other unhealthy or fattening ingredients. It's no wonder obesity is highly correlated with lower incomes. It's expensive to buy only good quality whole foods. Combine that with lack of understanding about what actually constitutes a truly healthy diet and it's no wonder we are so unhealthy as a a nation.
