Weight-control charity The Weight Foundation discusses exploitative food industry tactics and announces a free web-based self-help system for problem dieters, covering the emotional, the cultural and the commercial pressures which condemn thousands to lifelong dieting.

A leading weight control and dieting research charity shares its message that lasting weight loss can only come through a permanent mindshift and that all diet foods are an irrelevance.

An increasingly bitter blame game is said to be developing around overweight and dieting issues, further clouding the real causation and possibilities for personal freedom from weight concerns.
