Joseph, there is a general principal of חזקה אומן לא מרע אומנותיה. Do you think that the health ministries would completely make up false (and easily falsifiable) data? What would they gain by saying that the chareidi population has significant obesity issues compared with that of the general population? You might now know that until last week the health ministry was run by Ya’acov Litzman, an exceptionally competent minister who happens to also be chareidi. Since taking office, Litzman worked very hard to raise awareness of food health, including cutting junk food in schools.
