thank you for sharing this.

Once you realize that you are, at least partially, contributing to the problem, you make it possible to, at least partially, SOLVE the problem.

i see a lot of comments in this thread refusing to acknowledge any personal responsibility in the decisions people make regarding food, as if people have absolutely no choice but to say "i ate a salad yesterday, so today i'm going to order a triple chocolate lava murder cheesecake"-- which is easy to do when you've adopted the mindset of "oh well, i have chemical imbalance, can't help it"

people are of course free to do what they want with their own bodies. but i think saying that 99% of obese people have no choice about what they put in their mouth is false and harmful
