It's hard to believe how judgmental people can be. Next time you go to a grocery store, imagine a weigh scale in your mind.

We are a society of convenience, and we are being lied to and tricked by food producers. Yes, there's always personal choice, but as BF Skinner proved - free will is an illusion.

People say once an addict, always an addict. Alcoholics can stop drinking, drug users can stop drugs. You can't quit eating, it's a necessity for life and is likely the hardest of addictions to break.
