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.

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.[/quote]

Many people are NOT able to say no to drugs and alcohol. That’s why so many people die from alcohol/drug related causes.

Again, you are thinking of it simply being about saying “no.” You have no idea how little some people would have to eat, and how much they would have to exercise just to look “normal.”

It’s easy to say all this “stop eating” stuff when you’re a fast metabolizer (I was once in the same boat as you, and had the same attitude). It’s entirely different when you’re actually watching it in real life, and realize that some of these people are truly not eating that many calories at all. It’s eye-opening.

Agreed. We’re not talking about people who drink sodas and eat at McDonald’s all the time. We’re talking about people who eat fruit, nuts, vegetables, whole-wheat bread (open-faced sandwiches to minimize caloric intake), etc. That’s exactly the point.

think of all the money slow metabolizers can save. fat is basically money int he bank. if you only have to eat 1000 calories a day, or whatever, cause you’re a slow metabolizer, it’s like free money, almost a perpetual stream of revenue. if i could eat so little and still keep alive, basically im living for nothing, just a couple pieces of bread, some cheese, some water, and gin.

maybe if food prices keep going up, people will view fat as savings, something to live off in lean times.

wasn’t it really pretty recent that fat was equated with rich? if you really are on the brink of actual starvation, as opposed to just feeling hungry, it probably would be comforting to have 20 or 30 pounds of fat on you to carry you over to better times.
