Watching the news this morning I saw there is going to be a special report on the "obesity crisis in America". Then there was a picture of someone eating a huge fast food meal of fries, burgers, etc. and the voice over said, Here's the cure for the obesity crisis: Eat Less! As if it's possible to eat less of this kind of food and feel satisfied. It's cruel to tell people this.
This is of course is after an evening and morning of fast food commercials advertising pay less and get more food deals. It's the "Pleasure Trap" for sure. Thankfully, these are starting to look very unappealing to me -- so much fat! I think the trap is loosening its hold on me. It's been a lifelong battle, but it's never to late!
I don't watch too much TV, but sometimes there is a show that I like. I find myself turning the sound off half the time.
Thank goodness we have the McDougall program to show us another way!
