I think most people have a strong inner desire to consume. This desire leads not only to obesity, but to ever-increasing consumer debt as we purchase things to fill our lives. I don't know what drives this desire, but it exists. I struggle with it constantly. I am fat and have a house full of clutter--junk I "needed" to have. Sometimes I win and suppress the desire to consume, but all too often I succumb to it. No easy answer.
