Someone didn't read the article
Changing the food industry and/or regulation isn't easy for a single person, even if every bit of pressure helps.
At some point there is physics involved and calories matter. I guess it could be framed as the industry's failure to produce healthy food, which individuals can try to workaround by comparing calorie count when choosing food, and by avoiding soda.
It'd be interesting to see if there's any study to verify if making nutritional recommandation works better when stressing it's in large part an industry's failure, in order to minimize feeling of failure from individuals.
