Obesity and dietary issues on the other hand are highly publicized, pretty much everyone at this point knows that eating too much, eating too much of certain foods/drinks has a direct link to obesity, yet most people still do nothing. I'm not arguing against the fact that food producers need to be a helluva lot more responsible with what they put in our food, but there is a MUCH larger personal responsibility component here than in the asbestos case.
