When you get an increasing number of people who are simultaneously overweight and malnourished, you know there is something wrong with the food system and food culture.
Yeah, the the problem too is that Americans are also often deceived: health claims on food often distract from the fact that these same foods have things added to them (salt, sugar, corn products, etc.), even canned foods that are supposed to be good for you such as fruits and vegetables, soups, etc.
