Sugar and salt and sugar plus addictive caffeine so the kids get addicted early in life. The last numbers I saw obesity levels were greater than 30 %. Of course the food industry wishes to have the ubiquitous corn syrup labeled as sugar so people can't avoid it being as there is now resistance building about it being added to all kinds of food.

Wonder what the military will do next perhaps require people to be proficient with a firearm?
Or go to your local elementary / middle school / high school and count the number of oranges that were placed on the "free breakfast" tray that end up in the trash.
