who's fault is it if you're fat?

Question

is it your fault or the food maker's fault?

Answer 1

I like to blame the TV media and the upbringing I had. Whenever a commercial came on it was a signal to get something to eat or visit the bathroom. Well now there are more commercials than ever and what does that do?? There are only so many trips to the bathroom needed and the commercials that show us all these fine foods and top it off with giving us time to get it steer us in the wrong direction. While others may hit the bottle or go fishing I was trained to eat. Our children are bombarded with food and very little of it is really good for them. We give them goodies as rewards instead of a health bar they get mac and cheese or pizza. Where is the logic in that?" We help them to the grave by clogging their young bodies with junk.

Answer 2

Its usually your own fault. Most people don't make you eat that extra bit of food that you don't need. I do not think that it is the fault of the food makers, since they never force feed you.

The only other thing that could cause you to be fat is a medical condition. If it is a medical condition, a doctor should be able to help you with it.

Answer 3

Blame not weak will for excess weight but a sluggish thyroid, an imbalance of hormones, high insulin levels or perhaps an inefficiency of brown adipose tissue, suggests Simontacchi, a nutritionist who is also the CEO of a chain of health-food stores in the Northwest. Following the trail blazed by Zone-master Barry Sears, Simontacchi urges a diet in which proteins, fats and carbohydrates are consumed in a 30-30-40 ratio. Among her dietary no-nos are wheat and dairy products, all foods that are white and all canned foods (a caveat that recipe writer West occasionally overlooks: there's canned tuna in her tuna salad and canned pumpkin in her pumpkin pie). To jump-start the new dieter, 30 days of precisely balanced menus, with a warning not to deviate from them, and 60 or so recipes are provided. Nutritional analyses are not included. The volume slips into the realm of the infomercial when Simontacchi promotes a comprehensive program of multivitamin/mineral supplements, which, for top quality, should be purchased not by mail or at the supermarket, but at a health-food store.

Answer 4

It depends. It could be your parents fault, grandparents fault, your fault, or just bad genes. Why would the manufacturer possibly be at fault if you're overweight? True, they make the fattening foods, but it's not as if they ship a crate of Twinkies to your kitchen every week and force you to eat the whole thing at gun point. :)

Answer 5

That will be the individuals fault given the fact that they are adults because we as adults know right from wrong and make those choices. Now as a child that would be the parent's fault.

Answer 6

It depends. Some people have disorders and aren't in control of what happens no matter what they eat.

The food maker's know that a lot of the foods they produce have way too much fat, sodium, and sugar in them but, marketing makes it look attractive and people buy it.

Answer 7

It's your own fault and I'm starting to get a little tired of the "genetic disorder" enablers.

Sheesh. Put down the Twinkies and have a salad.

Answer 8

I think most people are misinformed about the foods they eat. Steroids are added for quick growth for chickens, beef and pork.

None of the white foods are good for you.

the only choices you have left are fruits and veggies and some fruits are dyed for color.

I really dont think its anyones fault but producers.

Answer 9

Anyone can eat food that is bad for you in moderation and stay perfectly fit, it is the people that do not excercise self control that are fat. It is entirely their own fault they are fat.

Answer 10

Its your dam fault a$$ munch if you didn't eat so much you wouldn't have that problem. Or if you get your lazy a$$ outside and do some exercise you watch what you eat and not watch it go down your fat throat you wouldn't have that problem. So do what is right and loose some dam weight you big fat a$$ pig.
