Thank you, Dr. Nussbaum, for your response.

I agree that the quality of the caloric intake is an important factor to consider in the quantity of our intake. Isn't this why we need to be aware of "empty calories," such as in refined sugars, that we might consume over nutritionally valuable foods containing natural sugars?

I think there's a correlation between economic health and over consumption in not just Western, but in other countries where there is significant economic growth, especially where capitalism is encouraged.
