I am sympathetic to people who actually are genetically predisposed to it or have some other medical issue--you know, like when were little and there would be one or two kids per class who were naturally chubby--but 30% of Americans did not just suddenly develop a genetic problem in the last 10 years. Ditto I have sympathy for those with a struggling with a genuine eating disorder or other actual psychological issue beyond a simple lack of self-control--but again, most people just like to eat like pigs. (I definitely lack self control when it comes to say a good chocolate chip cookie--but then, I burn it walking to work.)
For some teen-memories-of-hanging-out-at-Dairy Queen reason I do still miss eating cholesterol-death-on-a-plate fast food occasionally--but I limit it to a once a year indulgence and the smallest portions (which used to be the biggest, before they Supersized everything).
