I would like to know, what is your view on the topic "Battle of the Bulge."

I am thinking that you are talking about the popular term
referring to the ongoing battle against obesity. If I am wrong, ignore my answer. Here
is what I think:

It is a very contradictory thing. Right
now on American TV there are around 5 celebrities getting paid high dollars to advocate
Jenny Craig, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, the Organic Juice and the South Beach
diet.  On the same token, we have highly paid Chefs advocating for "foodies" and food
shows featuring all kinds of food are hitting the HD
market.

So, common sense tells us that moderation is key.
But yet, there is another market always attacking- The fast food
market.

In the US, for example, gourmet and healthy food is
extremely expensive compared to the $10 dollar and $5 dollar pizza deals from Pizza Hut
and Little Ceasar's respectively. Every fast food restaurant as a very convenient
"dollar menu" now, for which an average college kid could get a 5 course, highly
caloric, and extremely junkie meal for $7 including tax.

On
top of that, every commercial linked to an upcoming holiday is about the chocolate,
candy, junk, or outrageous meals you could be eating.

So,
on one hand we have paid sponsors telling us to join a diet plan while another is
telling us to love food, and the mainstream media is telling us to save money by eating
junk.

Bit ironic, isn't it?
