I'd say a lot of this would go a long way in helping. I know that since I started counting calories, it's hard in some places to get accurate information. I also think that if a lot of people say exactly how many calories and how much fat was in certain foods, they'd simply stop eating them.
Another big factor is that it's become ingrained in a lot of people that if they are watching TV or going to a movie, they NEED a snack. I know I've been guilty of this and still sometimes think of grabbing some chips or a pop for the sole reason of being in front of the TV.
Then there is the seemingly new culture of telling people that it is ok to be overweight. We don't need people making songs that say "don't worry about being big, people like that" or this "BBW" nonsense. I'm not saying go out of your way to degrade people, but being overweight is a serious health issue that is not ok.
