There is not a surprise that for quite some time now the problem of obesity is affecting th US population. Who is to blame?. One really has to take a look in to the heart of the problem. Obesity is not really cost by the food industry but by us and the choices we make. Balko argues that the Goverment sholuld step aside and He is right. The choice its ours to make . Companies like McDonalds , Safeways or Krogers are not responsible for the bad habits of the customers(Balko p.159). Since politicians took a hard look in to the problem of obesity, money has been spend on legislation ( Balkop p.159). I really believe that is not the right way to do it. The only way for this situation to change is perhaps when the subject gets remove from the public eye (Balko159). Each one of us make a decision every single day, and is up to each individual to make the right choice not for the goverment to decide.
