Obesity is a public health time bomb. But is curbing it primarily the responsibility of the government? The food police think so. Along the way, their extreme rhetoric demonizes industry and characterizes food marketers as little better than child molesters.

Weighing in from the Left are regulation-obsessed activists like Dr. Yoni Freedhoff of the University of Ottawa. He blames obesity on the failure of public health officials and lawmakers to “legislate change” — not enough statutes, regulations, public monies spent, or taxes on foods that he thinks are bad.
