Really, all I'm saying is that this is a bad attitude because when people have something aside from themselves to blame, they begin to think that it has nothing to do with them and they can't fix it. Therefore, they never even try.
ARTelevision's attitude is that nobody can even so much as *try* to lose weight because they are so brainwashed by the media. If you have tried and my posts offend you then I'm truly sorry. But the fact that you so much as tried probably means that you cut out McDonalds and other crap foods for enough time to notice whether there was an impact or not....in which case, ARTelevision is still wrong because according to him, the media makes it impossible to resist McDonalds for that long.

for those that have different values than you, you have to admit that it is POSSIBLE that it can be "impossible" for others to resist.
I try to eat healthy and I do go thru spurts where I don't eat at McDonald's, but there are times that I do because of convenience.

COOKING is NOT THAT HARD. There are lots of easy meals - hell, I think even slim fast has some TV dinners now. And there are tons of power bars out there that you can eat for breakfast or lunch.

I agree It isn't I cook as often as I can. When I was single I hated cooking for just me. I love to cook. I love to cook for more than just me though. It's not all that compelling to just cook for myself. For my wife, I do cook as often as I can as healthy as I can for lunches and dinners (not as much for health reasons but for financial ones)
But look at what you yourself have posted in my quote. You have listed 2 products that have been heavily marketed.... seems to me that the media has made an impression on you.
For the record, smart ones, slim fast, Weight Watchers, Healthy Choice, are better alternatives, but not as healthy since the food is still processed and usually high in sodium.
As for smoothies, I do love going to Jamba Juice. But I don't find it as satisfying as having a hot cooked meal.
