I believe I've never eaten a Twinkie in my life. Good riddance to bad food.

Sad... but they could always make Twinkies in China.

I might say it would be good to have less junk food available (would be good for me!), but there's already plenty of junk food that would fill in any gaps.

Me neither. But I grew up on Tastykakes from Philadelphia and am really tempted now that they're available here. I have given in to butterscotch krimpets on several occasions.

From reading, and the wording, it sounds like a strategy to thwart of certain threats.

The Weight of the Nation is the four-part documentary series, each featuring case studies, interviews with leading experts, and individuals and their families struggling with obesity.

yes thats it! sure would love to see it, but we don't have HBO. I watched the preview and i disagree with the lady who says 'you don't crave broccoli' if you change your food completely you will find yourself craving heatlthy stuff. I am in love with sweet potatoes, spinach, apples, oranges, oh and oatmeal, not cooked just cold like cereal. There are many things we have replaced with healthier alternatives. My husband has lost 65 lbs and me 35 lbs. We had to buy all new clothes.
We never eat out, if you look up the nutritional facts on most restaurant websites the fat and sodium are insane. Leading to the problem.
