*sigh*

Western society and our moralizing over food is the absolute worst!

The whole thing about thinking about what you're going to eat at the next meal during one is something that I've even heard many thin people say they do, so I think it's more normal than we realize. Those types who don't care about food and always forget to eat are the unusual ones.

It makes sense too. We need food to live, and didn't always live in an environment of plenty, so you might have to start working on acquiring your next meal right away!

We judge ourselves so harshly for it though because we're overweight. That is the ultimate sin in our culture. Not even eating too much really, but rather the being fat part.

After all, doesn't everyone know that one person who can eat and eat and eat, and never gain a pound? Is that person considered a greedy pig by the world at large? No, they're an enviable oddity. What many people, thin or fat, would like to be able to do but know they can't!

Add to that the fact that sugar affects the brain in similar ways to cocaine...why do we torture ourselves with these awful labels?
