I've been thinking. I am not overweight currently, but I often feel I'm bordering it (I know I'm not, but I feel that way a lot). However, there are a lot of overweight people, people who just can't get the weight off. And I know, personally, I am always hungry. I like to feel full, and I will eat til I feel that way. It takes a lot of food, even if I eat slowly. If my metabolism wasn't good, I know I'd be 300 lbs... my husband eats exactly the same amount of food I do, and he is 300 lbs, so I know I must be lucky with the metabolism (or he is very unfortunate with the metabolism, perhaps). Either way, what's the deal?
Have we made food a reward? A comfort? Why do salty, fatty, warm, gooey foods seem to be so much yummier than healthy things? I do love healthy foods, but if I had to choose between carrot sticks and mac n cheese, I know which I would pick (the mac, of course!) What are your thoughts on this?
