Summary: The war on obesity is a big fat flop
According to Margaret Wente("The war on obesity is a big fat flop”,2012), people, who are poorer are fatter than richer people because poorer people do not often physical training, health food are expensive, and there is no walkable healthy grocery. Conversely, rich people choose healthier food. In addition, most people prefer spend time on TV and the Internet instead of making nutritious food. Park and school should offer healthy food. Exercise is not a useful way to lose weight, but it strengthen physical activity. After two decades, the war on obesity is still stagnant.
