>I sincerely don't understand people like that. Go through US cities and realize how much absolute garbage food is produced and made available in place of healthy meals. Then look at the portion size that most places serve. Then realize that obesity and overweight rates are higher the lower you go down the income ladder. It would be another thing if we had loads of great food and meals being produced with almost no fast food and the obesity rate was still climbing. What your post illustrates is that you have zero respect for how powerful the environment can play in behavior and the other powerful forces (greed, politics) that go into shoving nutritionally cheap, unhealthy foods in our faces. You're right about it being 90% mental effort and developing one good habit, and that can really only be conquered once you develop a self-awareness of what's going on with yourself and your environment. IMO that is one reason why obesity is present in the lower income levels at a higher rate, because education is usually lacking there.
