You blame health professionals for the obesity epidemic? That's just inane. Obesity is a product of genetics and metabolism with the significant overlay of behav*ioural, hormonal, psychological, cul*tural, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Exactly how is the "health profession" responsible for this? They have no impact on many of these factors and the ones they do require patient commitment to be effective. If a patient isn't truly committed to being healthy, there is nothing a health professional can do. It's no different than an addict, there is no treatment for an addict who isn't committed to being clean and sober.

Theres a 700lb man in the hospital currently that they cant discharge because he wont fit in his home and there are no other facilities that can accommodate him. Hes been on a calorie restriction, but they just caught his daughter and wife sneaking in McDonalds and Cheetos to him... Those goddam professionals are making him so fat.
