    Correct, but alas, I -like most people- am not a fucking robot. Our behavior is influenced heavily by our chemistry, and while we have the ability consciously go against what the entirety of our species’ evolution is compelling us to do, we tend not to. Cuz that’s literally how we’re wired.

    Tolerating the sensation of even moderate hunger is agonizing over long periods - if the choice is between that and getting fat, I’m getting fat.

      That is perfectly reasonable and your choice to make. But don’t blame your lack of self control on cheap food

        The cheap food is secondary to the poverty, and the decision to eat it for price over health is secondary to our evolutionary biology.

        These stand out as pretty reasonable things to blame.

        The take of “you don’t want to feel tortured 24/7 and the only way not to is unhealthy? Well that’s your fault!” …is pretty fuckin bonkers.
