Damn, all this arguing when it's really quite simple (and I've already said it). It's basically laziness on the part of most people. Too lazy to work out. Too lazy to look at a label, too lazy to cook right, too lazy to care. They just figure it's too much work and they don't care about being healthy.
Should we institute a junk food tax so poor people will eat healthy? We all know that won't work as has been proven by the high taxes on cigs. People still smoke (even poor people) because they WANT to. Just like they WANT to eat junk. It tastes good and they love it.
Yes, HFCS causes obesity, but so does sugar and sitting on your ass doing nothing. We have gone from a society of manual labor to a society of cube farm rats. We NEED to exercise because we don't get the exercise we previously got from working.
Most fat people simply don't care and don't even try. They bitch that they're fat, but sit down at the buffet and stuff they're faces. They want someone to do everything for them. This is what we need to cure.
Our society has grown into a bunch of lazy fucks who want someone to do everything for them. They want the government to monitor this, or ban that. Here's an idea...you don't like something, don't fucking use it. If something makes you fat, don't eat or drink it. If something makes you cough, don't be around it. Take some fucking personal responsibility, but don't bitch about it until you've done everything you can to fix the situation. If people start picking foods without HFCS, manufacturers will quit using it. But people are lazy and don't fucking care. Period.

Buy an impedance BF meter and in the AM on an empty stomach w/o clothes measure your body fat %.

I have an impedance-style scale. Yes, I know they aren't all that accurate, but I use the same one and measure myself at the same time of day with same standards as you had listed. Maybe my % aren't exactly what it says, but it will show a trend, which is all I was really trying to point out and all I'm really looking for. If I want a truly accurate body fat measurement, I'll spend the money to get dipped in a tank, but it's not all that important to me as I'm not competing in anything.
