fact is, many people become obese because marketing tells us to eat more than we need.

And parents can't say no to their kids and McDonalds. While people try to blame it on the commercials and toys in Happy Meals, parents just need to learn to say no.
Chris and I tend to split plates at restaurants because the portions are just too large. When I was at Lavo, an Italian restaurant in the Palazzo, I ordered chicken parm, my fav. It came out and was HUGE! I asked the guy how much chicken it was - close to 2 lbs! I said to him, "that's eight people's portion."
Now where I do agree it can be linked to obesity and it's around the right time is because they do offer their food at such a discount it's filled with artificial shit like high fructose corn syrup. I never had that shit when I was growing up, now it's in every damn food.
