 If you deny unhealthy foods all the
 time it just leads to overeating them when you finally do give in to them.
You're making the same argument as Lynne that somehow there is a gun to your
head at some point where you are being forced to eat bad food.  In America,
the choices of what to eat are astounding and sometimes it blows my mind that
people will opt for the transfat fast food over everything else.  Don't you
see how ridiculous it sounds when you complain that people point at you in
amazement if you're overweight and eating something that's obviously bad for
you?  If you saw a guy on an oxygen tank in a wheelchair sucking down a cigar,
wouldn't you be the least bit shocked?  How about a guy with two fingers
juggling chainsaws?  Think about the logic.
Yes, people are mean.  Drink a v8, eat a salad, have a non-fat yogurt, and
drown your sorrows in healthy choices.  Nobody is forcing you to eat crap
foods.  Be glad you don't live in places where you wouldn't have the options
you have in America.
