You’re doing a lot of projecting. No one here is pointing at fat people and saying “fix yourself”. I outlined the external factors. The high availability of those foods alone is a major problem. Marketing normalizes it. And economics frames it as a necessity. That system is broken. And we are the casualties of that broken system. Very bizarre watching people scratch their heads as if the cause of elevated hunger is a mystery. Eat a steak and watch your hunger disappear. I ate a cookie this morning and now I want six more. Again, none of this is a mystery. The food is performing exactly as its creator intended. Are their individuals who are extremely hungry outliers? Of course. Is 40% of the American population outliers? No. I was overweight in childhood and still experience unwieldy hunger to this day. I am very aware that my hunger is not the same as someone else’s. My saving grace has been a decade of resistance training plus periods of intermittent fasting. In fact, the IF is pretty much the only method I’ve found that controls my hunger and shapes my behavioral patterns for the better. Otherwise I would certainly take full advantage of our empty-calorie-saturated environment. That’s my story and at no point am I suggesting that every individual has the means or will to do what I do. But what you’re suggesting is we ought not to discuss the core nature of the disease, but rather search for clandestine solutions in a pill, less someone infer that conversation as a personal attack.
