The trouble food is aprt of life and is a lot harder to control than the latter two things has you have to eat to live, I think overweight people should cure the problem then they can cure the overeating.
As for Frank Skinner didnt he have his own addiction demons, pot and kettle spring to mind.

Hi Tmi !!

That's fine...if there is some psychological reason for the addiction. But that is not the case for all fat/obese people.

Those who are fat / obsese get that way, not through addiction: but down to eating too much of the wrong things, and not enough exercise.

Pretending that being fat and obese people get that way due to only an addiction is complete denial of the truth: MOST fat people are fat due consuming more calories than they burn.

We've (you and I) have had this convo many times over and I know it's one that we end up agreeing to disagree.


To Vladimir - excellent job and well done indeed. You did something about it and all credit to you for that.
