So now we have drugs to make you skinny. Not to mention surgeries to make you eat less. We are fatally addicted to unhealthy food and we consume a lot of it.
Eating has been tied to all sorts of celebrations and emotional occasions. We no longer eat when we are hungry. We eat when we are happy, anxious, nervous, bored.
What really gets me is my wife was in the hospital last week, and had a doctor's appointment today, and I've rarely see so many morbidly obese people as I did in the nurse's ranks over the past week. I have a hard time accepting that a 300+ lb, 5'3" woman can honestly be called a "Health Tech", which is what the one who checked her in called herself this morning.
