Assigning blame to Warren Buffet for any part of America’s obesity problem is asinine. You speak as if none of these companies existed until Buffet clapped his hands and poof! That, if not for Berkshire Hathaway, Coca-Cola and Whoppers would not exist.

All these food companies under Berkshire Hathaway’s umbrella existed in its present form before being purchased, and they all sold the same “crap” that you accuse Buffet for. It’s not as if Dairy Queen was selling organic spinach turnovers before joining the Berkshire Hathaway family.

You also assume that America’s obesity problem is due to excessive influence of corporate marketing on consumers’ choices. A more plausible answer: people should learn to cook the old-fashioned way, wIth raw ingredients. Obesity is the symptom, but the real issue is the dissolution of the nuclear family in modern society and the failure of the parent(s) to take responsibility in leading healthy lives and being positive role models for their families.

Your writing is normally informative and knowledgeable, but this sort of character assassination is out of line. Perhaps you should perform due diligence on your subject before you denigrate his person behind the protection of your monitor.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. – Principal James Downey.
