How is watching that documentary and thinking that all fast food chains have those large portion options not blindly following it?

The part that I bolded is where we mixed up things because you are equating food addiction to everyone that is overweight for various other reasons. You can think that all you want to about it hard to became overweight and think fat people just scarf down only fast food but it is something that slowly happens over time. Also not everyone that is overweight has it coming from eating the wrong things. There are people with thyroid conditions and also medication that affects their weight as well.

If you actually want to know one of the main reasons for obesity in america is that unhealthy processed food is often times cheaper than natural products. The government subsidies the corn farmers that in turns ends up making more high fructose corn syrup that gets put into cheaper products that most poor people can afford.
