The lack of good science education in the USA when compared to the science education say, the Japanese get. 2. People will always spend money on fantasies. The quick fix diet pill provides a space people can go into mentally and imagine themselves melting all their fat away while they sleep.These fantasy pills kill people at worst, and at best, they're just a fantasy that may give you the runs. lol.

I love the fact that you are really on top of the myths and quickie weight loss offers that we are bombarded by on the web and advertising in general. I'm amazed at what new ideas they are selling every day.You also said something that I've been saying for years. If you stop eating certain food, you'll stop craving it. That's a fact! I only found out accidentally but it really works. We as weight loss surgery patients are supposed to eat protein first then fruits and veggies. Especially the gastric bypass people will get sick if they eat too much sugar but some will actually re-teach their body to tolerate sugar. That's a whole 'nother story but I haven't eaten more than a few grams of sugar since I had surgery 8 years ago and I couldn't care less about it anymore. Sugar is so incredibly addicting that they devote entire websites to getting past the addiction. All the food has changed so much in the last 20-30 years that we are eating entirely different stuff than we did when I was a kid. It's also sad that the less expensive food is usually fast food and pushes the people that need it the least towards poor food choices.Ms. Fatty, you are awesome and wonderfully irreverent!!
