[quote=CA renter] It’s good to know they are trying to look past the overly simplistic “diet and exercise” meme in an attempt to understand why some people are more prone to becoming overweight.

But if people can say no to drugs and alcohol and smoking then why can’t people say no to food.

Is shopping an addiction too? There are studies that indicate that people who are chronic shoppers or buy things they can’t afford suffer from self-esteem or other psychological problems.

And why do all kids have to eat the same? My big bro is 9 years older than me. We never ate the same portions when I was growing up.

Brian: Uh, do you have any kids? Just curious.[/quote]

No kids. And I don’t pretend to know how to raise kids.

But I can speak from experience and observation.

I grew up in a conservative household. I always ate at the table and were not allowed to open the fridge to help outselves.

My grandparents and my parents had kids late. My grand mother was born in 1890 and she was a foodie even before Julia Child brought cuisine to America. In my grandma’s time there were no restaurants everywhere like today, so if you wanted good food, you had to make it at home.

She taught us how to eat well. We knew what ingredients were in food and we didn’t eat haphazardly.

Like anything else in life, food is about training and learning and undertanding it. It doesn’t fall from the sky.

There’s a lot of knowledge and science in food these days. We should combine knowledge with culture to eat well and healtfully.

There is a lot of good food and selection available these days. But people’s taste buds have been destroyed by overly sweet, salty, spicy dishes. Just like drugs, the addiction is that they require ever more stimulation to be satiated.

Brian: You’re correct about the overly sweet, salty, etc options. Going to McDonalds when I was a kid was a BIG deal. Not anymore. I know kids that eat at McDonalds 3x to 4x per week. And the portion sizes when I was a kid were much smaller, especially the fries and soda. I see 12yo kids wolfing down burgers that are much larger, bigger orders of fries and chasing that with 32oz sodas. You do that 3x to 4x a week and there’s little wonder that you have fat kids.

I don’t disagree with your comments on training and eating at the table. The only problems are that mom and dad both work full time jobs, Mickey D’s is cheap and filling and the table is inside the restaurant.

I have children.

My kids ask me to make them oatmeal as a favor to them. They don’t know that a zucchini muffin, a handful of almonds and a glass of milk isn’t a happy meal. I ask them “how happy is a fancy bag of low grade shit from some stupid clown anyway?”.I tell them not to let people get away with expecting them to be that damn gullible.I don’t think we have ever been to McDonald’s.

There are plenty of meals that,with little planning, are easier than going to McDonald’s and some can easily be eaten in a park.. or even in the car. It is just as easy to stop at a grocery store and pick out a few decent things that don’t need cooking and go to a park. We have sat down and ate in front of the local Henry’s many times. There is no fricken excuse for frequent sodas.
