An Interesting News Article

The Psychology of Obesity
This article brings up many interesting points that I have lived with my whole life. One of them that really touched was how food was everywhere and easily accessible. Case in point "dollar menus." If I have 1.07 worth of change in my pocket or truck, I have a double cheeseburger. We all know the commercials remind us all the time that you can. For a guy like me, those commercials with pizzas, cheeseburgers, and ice cream are the same as offering a cigarette to somebody who has quit. What was really saddening was that the study that had people look at images of food, and even the person who had gotten in shape still responded differently than somebody who had never had a problem. I guess that means I will always be fighting the urges. And there are people that doubt food is an addiction?!
