> People who aren't affected by this are those who are either (a) genetically blessed, and would hardly gain weight in any environment, or (b) are socially blessed, in that they are wealthier, live in places with a strong culture of exercise, and/or have easy access to nutritious fresh vegetables.
or c) are disciplined enough to count their calories and stopping when they hit 2,000 kCal/day or so.
- bscphil 3y agoYeah, that obviously works for a small number of people. I'm talking about the large scale demographic changes though - they're clearly the result of changes in food availability in one's environment. In an environment like that seen in most of America, the majority of people are going to be fat. You don't solve that problem by emphasizing personal responsibility, even if it can in theory work for some individuals.
