How about letting individuals be less subjected to food advertisements
24/7?

How would you recommend that be accomplished? Legislation? Certainly the
food-producing/retailing companies won't voluntarily abstain from
advertising. Thus the government would have to *protect us* from such
harmful advertising. And wouldn't that constitute a nanny state?


It's also the result of the profit motive: large corporations are making
lots of money convincing Americans to eat more, thus becoming larger
corporally.

Corporations also encourage us to smoke, spend hours in front of video games
and TV, and take medications we likely don't require. There appear to be
only two solutions: personal responsibility, or the good ol' nanny state.
I prefer the former.
