Worth Reading

"I know we read a lot of blame directed at overweight people... but I really think blame misses the point. I am sure there are people who are overweight because they didn’t get enough exercise and they made stupid food choices....or because Ronald Reagan decided ketchup was a vegetable... because they tried too many stupid diets and fucked up their bodies and their whole approach to food... because ice cream is really, really good and life is too short not to enjoy really, really good things... because life sucks and food is always there for you. Some people have metabolic disorders and some people just don’t care and are probably every bit as lazy as thin people want to think they are. But none of that matters when you are actually trying to lose weight... Because losing weight is really hard. It doesn’t matter how you got there."

Beth really hit the nail on the head. Go read all the good stuff I edited out.
