"We live in a toxic environment," says Kelly Brownell, director of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. "It's like trying to treat an alcoholic in a town where there's a bar every 10 feet (3 meters). Bad food is cheap, heavily promoted, and engineered to taste good. Healthy food is hard to get, not promoted, and expensive. If you came down from Mars and saw all this, what else would you predict except an obesity epidemic?"
