Discussion about; Losing and gaining weight

Obesity is a big problem in the industrialized countries. Nutrition facts now have been added to the labels on the food items, so people can use them to regulate their diet. Do you think that including the nutrition facts in the food labels is going to solve the obesity problem? What other suggestions do you have to solve this problem?

Please make sure to type it and make it clear.
