[quote=Anonymous]Because most people view the universe through the lens of their own experience and cannot fathom that it is different for other people. I have drunk alcohol since my teens, yet I have never had a problem with alcohol. I can take it or leave it. I am not into shopping, never done it to excess. Don't have any interest in gambling. I can sit down and take a standardized test and ace it, no sweat. But put me in a room with food and my brain goes haywire. I cannot control myself. That's how MY brain works. Not how others' work. Nothing helped me understand this more than having a child with special needs whose brain works so differently than mine. So much of what we all do in a day is controlled by our brain and body chemistry, and we're just now realizing this when it comes to obesity. Society still stigmatizes alcoholism, drug addiction, neurodiversities, clinical depression, mental illness, but not as much as it stigmatizes and in fact demonizes obesity. I hope we are making progress. I believe we are. But it is slow going.[/quote]
