[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As with many complex phenomena, it's obviously a combination of systemic failures and individual choices. We can't really control things like subsidies to the junk food industrial complex, but we do have some control over our individual choices. That is the point. When you go to a Super Walmart and spend your money on soda, that's a choice.[/quote]

If only it was all about junk food and soda. I’d be a size 2. [/quote]

No one is recommending becoming a size 2, but if you're obese, [b]there's no way that you got that way eating only healthy, unprocessed/low processed foods.[/b] It would be virtually impossible to become obese if you ate only fruits, vegetables, and low fat meats. You might still be large framed, but not obese.[/quote]

Wrong, wrong, and incredibly wrong. [/quote]

C’mon.  Go visit any chain restaurant in middle America and notice what people are eating.  Extremely large portions of unhealthy food.  It’s pretty easy to figure out why almost everyone in the restaurant is overweight.  There are some exceptions but the vast majority of overweight and obese people are simply eating too much food.  [/quote]

Okay, some obese people become and remain obese eating junk. And some thin people remain thin while eating junk. Overall low income Americans don't eat well, at any BMI. But it's not hard to become and remain obese eating clean foods. [/quote]

Most obese people don’t become obese by eating only heathy foods.  We all know this..

Even so... if you don’t have the ability to well regulate your food intake, the use a scale.  If you notice your weight climbing, you need less food, perhaps less and different foods. If you are prone to overeating and regulating, weigh yourself more frequently.  This is basic self care. It is a lot easier to fix a 5-10 lb gain.  I cannot fathom how people can let themselves gain 50+ lbs and not do anything about it.  [/quote]
