Supermarkets not responding.

Shoppers see restaurants as doing a better job of responding to the new weight focus than supermarkets. They are sympathetic with supermarkets on the one hand, but blame them for advertising and merchandising showcases the snack foods that cause most of the overweight in ways that get customers to want and buy them on impulse before thinking about the consequences. "The least supermarkets could do is put the healthier stuff at eye level and the snack foods and unhealthy stuff higher up. Right now, they make it too easy to grab the junk."
