Anti-Obesity propaganda and initiatives seem to be everywhere these days. I'd be really interested to know of any that you may have noticed in your area. Do they infuriate you? Or can you see the method in the madness?
In the UK the initiative of treating obesity like the smoking threat has been proposed. Removing ads for food/drinks high in sugar from all media, removing snacks/drinks high in sugar or fat away from high impulse buying areas in shops and introducing health warnings to packaging of such items. I find this kind of infuriating as it implies that people aren't aware of what they're eating and as educating them has failed, removing the temptations is the only option.
What else is going on out there?
