response: You think so? Laws in recent years have tried to address advertisements.
original_response: Yes, lack of exercise and food manufacturer's marketing towards children.  Laws around it have really evolved in recent years.
history: Obesity seems to be a real problem these days, especially among young people. Do you agree that obesity is mostly preventable through social changes and personal choices? I think that society has lost the ability to prepare healthy meals at home and we rely too heavily on fast food and junk food. It can be addicting. That's a good thought. Other countries have see increasing obesity, but the US has the highest rates in the world. Yes. I think we need to go back to teaching basic cooking skills in school, like they do in Britain. That's a great thought. In France, though, obesity is growing as a health issue. Oh dear, I didn't know that. So it's not just an American problem. I think lack of exercise plays a huge role too.
knowledge: Laws concerning such advertisements have largely evolved in recent years.
