Shying away from any hint of body shaming feeds the obesity crisis

People who indulge in it need to stop kidding themselves that their aim is productive. They simply do it out of meanness and some twisted idea of thin-self glorification.

If we're going to collectively shame anyone it should be the food manufacturers who pump out their addictive, unhealthy products that are designed to short circuit people's natural stop-eating instincts. I watched a video recently by that neurologist from Stanford who explained how modern processed food with its hidden sugars and salt prevents the homeostasis mechanisms in our brain that would ordinarily stop us from eating "too sweet" or "too salty" and therefore, eating more of that product that includes both in excess. They do it on purpose to make a buck and it's no less shameful than that parade of tobacco execs who stood in that congressional committee and said their product was not addictive. Ha!
