I lost about 40 lbs several years ago, you know how? I stopped eating crappy food and I stopped eating as much food. What a concept, right? I've gained about 10 lbs back because I've become less diligent and have started sneaking a slice of pizza or cookie every once and a while, obviously they were tainted with Roundup because it can't possibly be my fault?

These conversations are insulting to intelligence because when you distill it down to reality, it is so damn simple. Want to lose weight? Each less, eat healthy, and bonus if you can throw in some exercise as well. Want to know why you're fat? It's because you eat too much, and eat unhealthy food. Why are so many people fat? Because food is tasty, and we are fortunate to live in a country where tasty food is everywhere. Why don't more people lose weight? Because weight loss is a major change in lifestyle that is hard and requires sacrifice, and people generally don't like things that are hard and require sacrifice.

I have no doubt that there are folks that have a medical/pathological/physilogical/biochemical reason that they are fat, but I suspect that's something ridiculous like .01%. For the other 99.99%, it's what you said.
