What's your plan to fight obesity? Telling people to stop eating so much? I think these problems are more complicated than you think.

Oh, sure, it hasn't worked. I think we can get there, though. And I think circumcision to prevent HIV spread is kind of similar to surgical operation to reduce stomach size at birth, to prevent overeating. Workarounds when there are (in my opinion) better solutions.
I think coming up with a solution for AIDS in Africa is probably even harder than tackling obesity in the US.
But even though this sounds too idealistic, I'll always be in support of education, not semi-preventative surgery.
