It's Not My Fault I'm Fat?!?

Source



This website explains how food maufactuers and marketers are causing more and more Americans to become obese. What if you, the human being, are not the one to blame? They say that the fault could be squarely laid at the feet of the maufactuers, the people who make the food so tasty. Several recent studies show that eating is an automatic behavior driven by images of buttery popcorn, glazed doughnuts, or a whipped-cream latte on the way to work. The website suggests that we need enviormental changes, such as taking out vending machines with fatty foods in schools. But, as one scientist said, "People will always eat. They will cheat on their diets and eat what tastes good to them, not what's healthy." An interesting observation and one that I tend to agree with. Whose to blame? That's up for debate.
