[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obese and overweight women are hungrier than their naturally thin counterparts. I have witnessed my overweight friends eating habits over the years and I can definitely see how they eat more because they are physically hungry. It’s no real accomplishment for me to be at a healthy weight when I am not hungry for more than my body requires. People need some humility and stop thinking that overweight people are needlessly eating food they are not hungry for.[/quote]

I mean, it’s sad but it’s also a known thing now. People must guard against gaining weight. Parents must help their kids to stay at healthy weights. Yes, there are people who truly have disorders or are too poor to have access to good food that will gain weight no matter what, but not the current 75-80% of Americans. I was in rural NY watching an obese grandma and obese 10 yo boy buy frozen dinners and ice cream as their dinner. The store was well-stocked with produce and fresh meat. Part of it is culture, part of it is laziness, some of it is genetics. Once you are obese, it’s game over. It becomes much harder to ever be at a normal bmi again. The conversation has to shift away from losing weight to helping our kids learn to eat well and maintain a norma bmi. [/quote]

If you really think that 75 - 80% of Americans have access to and can afford healthy, fresh food, you need to educate yourself beyond your current ignorance. When you take a breath from your assumptions about “culture”, go price out the differences per serving  between “frozen dinners and ice cream” and “produce and fresh meat”.  You seem to think you know what people can afford because you paused to sneer at them in a store.
