It'll get worse before it gets better  I'm getting closer and closer to thinking it'll never get better.  Media paid by advertisers. Advertisers paid by food companies. Food companies get paid by everyone, even us. Politicians won't upset the electorate or legislate against powerful food lobbyists. Those in power tend to be, on the whole, not obese so it's not a problem for them and the rest of the upper classes/elite/ceo/rich. I looked at the ceo positions of every one of the 11 major food companies, no fats there. They're not stupid. So the masses and pleading fatties will keep being peak consumers, no-one will upset the gravy train. Medical science might well continue to extend our life expectancies, but also of the hams. We might stumble on a miracle cure, I doubt it, or even if we do, it'll be an expensive treatment for a few that can afford it. Next generations may shun obesity similarly to the majority shunning smoking. That or somehow we educate the next generation better (I doubt that too). I doubt it'll be shunned, it's the easy, lazy route after all. Fat acceptance 'activists' will be replaced easily enough with another as they die off.  So, yeah, not sure I see any changes on the horizon at all.
