Fun fact. Outside Medicine and Pharmaceutical Companies. One of the major employers of Mental Health specialists and Neurological researchers in the Country is Food Companies. With the general goal of improving upon mixtures and recipes to increase the likelihood of chemical addiction and dependence.
Subsequently large quantities of the population are addicts. The chemicals in the food trigger all the right happy chemicals. Likely why for one thing. Dieting is so difficult for so many. You’re not just fighting an expanding Waistline and a Mental dependency. You’re also fighting a chemical addiction you in many cases don’t even know you have.
I’d imagine it’s also the source of more than a few Mental Illnesses. As the chemicals in the food trigger misfiring in the receptors that govern the natural chemical and hormonal processes in our body. Processes we don’t actually have much of an understanding of in the slightest I might add.
That stuff is no joke. I haven't eaten any close to the sugar amounts most people do, for decades. Even so, sugar withdrawal, when I went keto, was almost as bad as coming off of opiates.
I don't even know what FAST FOOD tastes like...Have been off the stuff for over 14 yrs and glad I DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUES, and I weight 180 lbs and I'm 75!!!!!
It's not just that some people are overeating high calorie foods. People who eat normally get fat, too. It's the way our meat is raised (hormones, antibiotics, fed corn and Skittles) and our crops are grown (mutated, sprayed with pesticides), the chemicals in our processed food that don't need to be there, the way our healthy oils have been replaced by unhealthy oils, and the way our water is handled fluoridated, often stored in plastic), etc.
I've been keeping track of my caloric intake recently and was astonished that I average 2,000 calories a day from, peanut butter, milk and butter alone. Week before last I had a 39,000 calorie week 😂. I'm in my forties, I don't know how my mom afforded to feed me as a teenager when I was on the swim team, boxed, wrestled, weight lifted and pedaled my bike everywhere. I've gone up one pant size in 20 years avoiding processed crap and keeping active.
I try to explain to friends and family that low fat stuff makes you fatter. Insects won't even eat margarine, it gets stored as fat but can't be burned like fat. I get natural peanut butter with real oil not hydrogenated gmo vegetable oil or mayonnaise with Roundup Ready soybean oil. I speculate those people getting fat who "eat normally" don't read the labels on what they eat.
