It's not your fault.

It's not your fault. Would you feel better if you knew that your problem with diet were not your personal weakness. It really isn't. The cards are very much stacked against you. There are whole huge institutions designed around just the idea of getting you to eat more of things that are not good for you or just too much of it.

It is pretty intuitive that any restaurant or food store wants you to buy more from them. It is just good business to put in stock and into foods the very things that addict you (fat, salt and sweet).

It doesn't help that the very government that is supposed to protect it's citizens is inclined to feel it is their job to help promote business growth, that is equated to a healthy, prosperous economy. The government feels that getting you to consume more in every way is better for all of us. It is killing us and making us sick as part of that formula.

We hire the brightest among us to keep marketing to us cravings for all the wrong things. Have you ever seen a late night TV ad suggest we steam up a bowl of kale, or turn off the TV and take a walk.
