I can't decide if you're serious or trolling about this. There are plenty of reasons to claim people are uninformed. Especially in the USA.

Here are just a few: conflicting scientific evidence about nutrition and dietary standards over the past few decades leaving people confused as to how to define a healthy diet, lobby groups imposing dangerous legislation for FDA nutrition standards that claim certain foods pose no health risks (e.g. HFCS, sugar) despite contradicting evidence, more corporate lobbying that allowed the re-labelling of health codes so that school nutrition programs can now legally define pizza as a vegetable, blatant misinformation and claims from weight loss companies which deliberately obfuscate facts in order to retain their customer base, recent circulation of myths regarding the effects of obesity on the human body (with many "body gurus" claiming that there are no detrimental effects)....

I could go on. There is actually no reason to believe that anyone is well informed about proper nutrition or health risks associated with obesity.
