Why are doctors and nurses so overweight ?

The doctors that are supposed to know how to be healthy and prevent disease are in reality unhealthy and overweight. They have salad, but they are eating hot dogs and pizza from the fast food restaurants inside the hospital.

I understand this though it isn't true for all of us. I'm a healthy weight.

Salad is a high effort food. It requires a lot more attention than a burger.

Clinical staff are people too. It's hard to eat a salad when your day is already draining you. You need something that feels like a hug. The stress also has negative effects.
