This is the kind of statement that completely undermines your credibility and completely validates the criticism of you by

You blame health professionals for the obesity epidemic? That's just inane. Obesity is a product of genetics and metabolism with the significant overlay of behavioural, hormonal, psychological, cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Exactly how is the "health profession" responsible for this? They have no impact on many of these factors and the ones they do require patient commitment to be effective. If a patient isn't truly committed to being healthy, there is nothing a health professional can do. It's no different than an addict, there is no treatment for an addict who isn't committed to being clean and sober.
