No one is denying that it exists in much of the country. But it should be acknowledged that obesity is not ubiquitous everywhere, and is avoidable.

This thread reminds me very much of a recent thread about obesity in which certain posters absolutely rejected any personal responsibility for bad health related to poor dietary choices.[/quote]

Obviously, Americans are irresponsible and Italians are responsible. That’s why the latter are not obese and we are.

Please… it’s not about will of power.  Any habit forming is about making it easy and convenient. If you read any books about forming habits or breakfast ng habits, science shows you won’t last about on will power, it’s about making it easy or difficult to take the action.[/quote]

When I was growing up my dad was obese. My mom was not, none of my siblings or I were. He was obese despite the fact that we all had the same food options. He ate way too much, period. I’m sure if he’d read your recommended books he would have felt better about it somehow not being under his control, though.[/quote]

Same with my mom. She just had no willpower. She had bag of snickers in her nightstand and she just loved to eat. The rest of us ate vegetables and real food and stayed away from junk. [b]I get fat just visiting her.[/i] I remember I would spend a month over college summers and would just gain weight because of all the unhealthy food.[/quote]

Soooo ... your mom had no willpower?[/quote]
