Historically, OCD types, control freaks, have often pushed for control on other issues. They came up with definitions of abstinence and other ways to control other people. They have also provoked two major split offs, both over the "carbohydrate controversy" (which came, caused a split, was rediscovered, caused another split). The split offs, fondly referred to as OA Nazis, get results, but they drive the OCD types even crazier, and they coined the return reference "fat acceptance" for those in OA who have not abandoned sugar and flour.
The big push back was driven by deluded OCDers backed up by malpracticing nutritionists who had been misled by incompetent summaries of the research into thinking that the HOW people were going to kill themselves through malnutrition and one too many good steaks. Some actually used force to take "gray sheets" (the anti-carb diet) away from people.
You can get a great view of the science in the following books (pick them up through your library):
