The health effects of obesity are well advertised yet people continue to eat a lot. You see it on social media: people dining out with friends at restaurants with large plates of food, huge Superbowl parties, etc. evidently these people are not concerned. There are three ways of looking at this: these people are obvious to the risk, do not care, or the risks of obesity or being overweight are overblown. If the NYTs cares about stopping obesity, they should get rid of their food section, as food is the main contributor to obesity.
