The people responsible for the article are tragically absorbed in bad ideas. But they are right (on accident, probably) when they asked if it were possible to eat more healthy foods, rather than restrict calories. It's what people are eating (sugar and refined seed oils) that's at the root of the problem, not the quantity (the quantity is driven by the what). Saying excess calories is the problem with obesity is like saying gravity is the problem with plane crashes. Technically true, but totally useless. It's insane to argue that obesity isnt a problem or is racially motivated, but it's also insane to continue to attempt the same strategy (eat less, exercise more) that has failed for 40-50 years.
