They don't need government directives to make them do that, it's their culture. America (and the UK similarly) has had any food culture it had destroyed, and the general population do not understand the cultural importance of food as it pertains to the health and function of a civilisation. They only see food as sensory treats.
This is why when these discussions come up, westerners especially Americans always get into mental gymnastics about calories and portion sizes, rather than seeing the bigger picture; in most of the world people do not eat goyslop every day because it isn't part of their culture. If most of your nutrition comes from meat and fish, you don't have to control calories or portions, you can eat til you are full and you will be slim and healthy.
It's crazy that such an obvious thing needs to be explained but westerners genuinely don't even understand what they are supposed to eat.
