Exactly.
And do you think the UN should intervene? As you may well know, the UN (with its World Health Organization) unites the world's best epidemiologists. They're the dudes who eradicated smallpox (one of mankind's great successes). They're the ones who are fighting the global war against AIDS and malaria.
The obesity epidemic in the US is touching virtually all Americans (with 200 million of them really being afflicted by it, while the other 100 million are their relatives and close ones). America's entire society is affected. It is a gigantic epidemic (one of the worst in the history of mankind.)
So should the UN intervene? It's its job to do so.
