NPD Finds Fewer Americans Dieting But Eating ''Better For You'' Foods

Why the weight will never come off.

"Eating 'better for you' foods rather than dieting appears to be the weapon of choice against the battle of the bulge, according to The NPD Group, a leading market research firm. NPD reports that the percentage of adults on a diet has decreased by 10 percentage points since 1990, while the percentage of Americans eating healthier has increased."

"Better for you foods" are a con.

In the weight debate, all that matters are Calories.

Spending more to eat Calories from expensive sources, i.e., "better foods," will lead to fat people with a lesser net worth.

And richer corrupt, predatory food companies.

Don't fall for the hype.
