Sugar!

STUDY!!!! Sugar makes people want to eat. Since everything has sugar now, a lot of people get fat. Therefore, stopping people from getting fat requires changing the environment, rather than the more traditional "eat less, move more" approach.

The presentation, of course, is the interesting part. To start the article, we have:

Feeling fat? It might not be your fault.

Well, no, it's still your fault. You're eating stuff. And then eating more. And more. That makes it your fault. The fact that the world influences you, and makes you want to eat more, doesn't really de-youify the eating to make it not your fault. It's as lame as saying that a crazy person isn't at fault for being crazy, because her body has fucked up chemical regulation, as if somehow a person is distinct and seperate from her body.
