Would it be rude for Dr. Now to scream at the 600 pounders: Just stop eating you pig!!

@ColleenOhara: I think some people become obese because of how they were raised, being rewarded with food and they eat to make themselves feel better about things and it spirals out of control like any addiction. And there are chemicals being used in our foods that are messing with hormones, including hunger hormones. Plastics used in the lining of food cans and chemicals in wrappers of foods get absorbed into them. BPA is one that was mentioned today on the local news, and they say it was being found in a lot of the canned foods sold in dollar stores. Round-up spray is being sprayed on wheat about a week before harvest to make the grains release more easily and higher yields, it is messing with health including cancer. And MSG and artificial sweeteners increase appetite too. People really need to learn to cook at home and to research what they are eating. I went off of grain completely because I don't trust what the food industry is doing with them.

I agree with some of your ideas. The food industry is a mess. I use MSG, and have no appetite at all.

@ColleenOhara: You probably have proper levels of magnesium. People who are deficient in it, and it is a very common deficiency, are more sensitive to it. I take magnesium every day now because I was having heart palpitations which I later figured out was caused by eating foods with MSG in it. The food industry is not honest in labeling, using other words to hide MSG in the food. I cook almost everything from scratch now.

@SvanThor: I guess its not politically correct. I would lose it also.
