Beliefs About The Causes Of Obesity Predict Support For Policies To Combat The Problem

Could be a good thing.

"With obesity reaching epidemic proportions in the United States, new research has found that an individual's personal beliefs about the causes of weight problems are a reliable indicator of whether he or she will support public policies designed to combat the problem."

And the one belief everyone should have is that the conventional approach to weight loss can, will, does and has failed because it is wrong.

From that starting belief, you have a chance of succeeding.

And the only "public policy" that will work is holding individuals accountable for their Calorie-related behaviors.
