Ken Leebow of Feed Your Head is even less optimistic than I about HBO’s Weight of the Nation:
This “special” will air in May. I’m sure it will have plenty of people with their heads cut off. Sadly, that’s what they do to obese people. And it will discuss, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and strokes. I’m sure it will discuss the cost of health care. …
Here’s the scoop: We do not have an obesity epidemic. We have a food crisis. It’s the food, the food, the food. By pinning the problem on obesity, we take the wrong fork in the road. We must address the horrific food environment.
Weight Maven is written by Beth Mazur. Beth believes that obesity is more symptom than cause and that the real problem is our Western diet -- especially sugar, refined grains, and industrial oils. Beth writes about nutrition, ancestral health & food policy. And cats! 
Bingo!
