Sixteen food and beverage companies joined together to help US consumers win their battle over obesity by selling 6.4 trillion fewer calories in 2012 than they did in 2007, according to new studies from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Known collectively as the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF), the companies pledged to remove 1 trillion calories from the market by 2012, and 1.5 trillion by 2015.
