More Food and Health

Here and here are a couple thoughtful articles about food and health issues (the main theme in both being obesity) that challenge a lot of notions I have about both issues (and reinforce others). Above all, I come out of these articles thinking that food and health issues my be complex problems without solutions in part for one simple reason: they aren't as large problems as people make them out to be.
Yes, we're getting fatter. Yes, we're spending more on health care. These both may stem from the same source: The world is getting richer, becoming more productive, and living longer. These are problems I'd rather not see "solved".
