I’ve said it a thousand times in various threads on this site…personal responsibility has gone the way of the dodo.

Some people burn calories faster than others. But it’s always going to be CICO. Anyone who says they have restricted their calories by a significant amount for at least a month and never lost weight is lying. [/quote]

So, which individual is demonstrating more personal responsibility:

Person 1 - Burns calories faster, does not pay attention to diet, eats a lot, exercises little, and remains thin.
Person 2 - Burns calories slower, pays attention to diet, restricts diet, exercises frequently, and becomes obese.

I say Person 2 is demonstrating more personal responsibility. Do you agree or do you disagree?[/quote]

This is a silly hypothetical. The overwhelming majority of obese Americans are that way because of their lifestyle choices. Go to Costco in Springfield and see what people are buying in bulk.

We really need that show secret eaters here in the US. You can find it on YouTube from the UK. That’s what’s going on for most people. [/quote]
