[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Society still stigmatizes alcoholism, drug addiction, neurodiversities, clinical depression, mental illness, but not as much as it stigmatizes and in fact demonizes obesity.[/b]

I hope we are making progress.  I believe we are. But it is slow going.[/quote]

Disagree.
