Get sugar amounts labeled on all food products
Really eye opening the lack of a discussion in this country around the harmful effects of sugar. The Agricultural Lobby ha been successful in getting Americans addicted to sugar which leads to unnecessary and harmful storage of fat.
Ever notice how next to sugar on any food label, it just says the grams of sugar and not the % that represents of the daily recommended amount? This is a successful lobbying effort that knows that if consumers saw the facts they'd change their eating habits which would effect profits.
Imagine if 25% were next to sugar on your coffee creamer, or 260% were on you bottle of soda? Or how about if 150% was next to sugar on your child's breakfast cereal?
Sugar is highly addictive and tricks the body into storing fat and being hungry. We have a country that is strung out on sugar and a lobby doing everything in their power to prevent the public from knowing about it. There is no major movement I've found to help educate the country about sugar, why?

fat 
Oh yes nutritious foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are naturally low in fat.
However, a lot of low-fat food products /substitutes pushed as healthy choices often contain a lot of sugar and other unhealthy ingredients
It’s not just the high consumption of sugar but the image pushed that it’s a healthier choice in many cases too
