I think more people are addicted to food than previously thought. The reason I say this is that I see the same patterns I saw in myself in so many others. Aparent apathy in diet can be symptomatic of depression. The 'f**k it, I don't care' attitude often means that someone is in denial. I've heard about the fat pride movement, which tells me that group think is alive and well. What heavy person wouldn't take the opportunity to be healthy? If I walked up to a fat person right now with a pill that could make them thin, I know they'd take it (there is an entire industry based on that claim). It's not easy being large in our society.
