Participantocr – in effect, then, we can say Americans are getting fatter b/c they lack happiness and are seeking it through sugar and fat which are cheap, legal and readily available.
So maybe the solution would be to not only target diet and exercise, but to find other safer sources of happiness.
That will be a tricky one b/c the “happiness” derived from eating is the temporary rise in serotonin.
Are there other things that can raise serotonin that are safe? Music? Jogging? Bicycling? Hiking?
Here’s one for TG. Sex?
What are some things that people can engage in that will raise serotonin that are healthy?

Prozac for the masses. It’s an SRI – my (potentially wrong) understanding of it is that Prozac and other SRI’s prevent the re absorption of Serotonin… so you have it in your brain longer. But I could be way off base on that.

I personally don’t like taking drugs, so I’ll just have to deal w/my serotonin not rising. Maybe watch more comedies 😉
