[quote=Anonymous]I think we are going to find in the next 10 years or so that some combination of things has gone very wrong in our biology, probably relating to our gut bacteria (read Michael Pollen's article in the NYT Mag this week), because of the crap we eat and because of the crap we feed the animals we eat. That, combined with less exercise and cheap food has made most of America fat.  It hasn't changed American's morality or thrift or whathave you...its just biology and food. I was struck by this when my husband had surgery for his obesity and dropped over 100 lbs without becoming a morally superior being. He's still him.  Yes, he exercises a lot more now, but that came on gradually as the weight came off and it hurt less.  But the weight is coming off because of biology (the surgical changes and the gut bacteria changes caused by surgery). It just makes no sense to sneer at people for their biology, and in time you'll feel foolish for blaming fat people, the way we now feel foolish for thinking people with mental illness were evil.
