I just don't agree that by taking away 100 calories a day that this will solve the obesity crisis, especially when overweight is a complex issue - it's not as easy as just "diet & exercise"... there needs to be a total lifestyle change including your thoughts, emotions, and healing the reasons you overeat, and if emotional eating and food addiction are involved there's even more to it. ;) Hi Nancy,

Most people can't tackle the huge changes needed to "fix" everything, but they can deal with two glasses of soda and ten minutes of exercise. Most people jump in with both feet and fail. If you take baby-steps that makes it easier. I suspect that's what he was trying to get at, or at least that's how I saw it. I think it’s a start.
