There's no need to leap to 'idiocy', it could mean the people struggling with weight have either poor willpower, or honestly don't know how to eat well. You can see this by watching shows like 'Secret Eaters' and seeing how incredibly common it is that people are over-eating and just don't realise it.
And researchers will research wherever there's funding/academic opportunity.
- imsofuture 8y agoSo the big difference between 100 years ago and now is people have less knowledge and less willpower?
- allover 8y agoWell I didn't say anything about 'between 100 years ago and now', so no. Clearly a lot of factors have changed in 100 years, like our now abundant, convenient sources of calorie-dense food, and sedentary lifestyles, which mean our knowledge and willpower are now more significant than they were then.
