This is complete nonsense. Yes, people overeat, but it only takes a small surplus of calories to put on weight.

you really think americans are eating 'small surplus' ?

Last year that number was 3600 ( fda recommendation is 2000, for reference )

imagine what will happen to food prices if americans cut their consumption by half.
