b_b, you misunderstand me. I'm not sure that "abject gluttony" is the wrong word. I'm just pretty sure my grandparents wouldn't use that terminology. I don't find fault in it myself.
My grandparents would be more likely to fault a socioeconomic scenario where food desserts and a flawed welfare system are the culprit. -I'm guessing here, but I'll see them at Christmas and I'll be sure to ask. There is no doubt that we have an obesity problem though. I applaud that the White House is attempting to tackle this issue and bring it in to the light. It's a serious problem and an expensive one from a healthcare perspective. But no need to apologize for the word usage, I might have used even harsher adjectives :)
