Cracked ran this really short article today about the roles companies play in junk food addiction and I found it really interesting.. There aren't any solutions presented, but I think it's important to understand some of the things that are going on that you might not be aware of.

    There's a series of 3 or 4 episodes on you tube on the subject. Definitely worth watching! The Men Who Made Us Fat. It doesn't take away personal responsibility, but explains a lot about our food and processing.
