They may find better weight loss methods in the future, but it seems now the only way to improve things is to prevent it in the first place.

I think this is a huge thing. People need to move back towards foods that aren't manufactured and manipulated by a company. Chicken is chicken. Broccoli is broccoli. Rice is rice. You know? God only knows what a Pringle is. Or what a pop tart is. Of course there is an argument there about hormones and feed for your meat, and genetic modification for the veggies and plants, etc. But my point really is cutting out all heavily processed/manufactured food can largely eliminate the hormonal manipulation and whatnot.
