Health security
More than two thirds of U.S. adults are now overweight and it is fair to say that almost all of them overeat. It is not too difficult to overeat when food and snack ads are everywhere--as are the products themselves. Why are snacks sold in the hardware store, office supply store and car wash? Because we've gone a whole 45 minutes without eating? Why do hotel rooms have mini-bars? Because it has been a whole hour since dinner? The average U.S. refrigerator is opened 50 times a day, probably correlated with TV ads. When some Europeans saw Americans downing cheese fries at 10:30 am in a mall food court they legitimately asked "what meal is that?"
