Good food, addiction, economics, and inner peace - a barnyard theory

[Goat]

what's wrong with 2/3 of america being obese? they fuel the economy, spend money on food then have to spend more on bigger clothes.
going back to 'fueling the economy'* they gotta spend money on liposuction and gym passes.
there's great money in that. then those gyms have to pay taxes, buy equiptment, rent offices, buy buildings and pay for employees, who in turn go and buy more food. How do they cook that food? with frying pans, pots, kettles,blenders, and utensils. And isn't good food better when enjoyed in a nice relaxing area - people furnish there kitches; tables, chairs, candles, table clothes, interior decorating.

but what about those people who enjoy being fat? what's so wrong with being obese?

Given, some people don't feel good about themselves when they're slow and jiggly. Why not turn that negative into a positive and pick up a sport or two. gain some muscle, get toned, etc. (more money in the economy - shoes, shorts, athletic gear)

If you're all skin and bones, you've probably realized that it's next to impossible to put on any weight, active lifestyle or not. Going on a strictly kfc diet, extremely fatty diet added in however, you might get some love handles, fill out a bit. (more money in the economy) Now, you have some extra 'meat' to work with, tone up, and get muscular with.

For anyone who has tried to quit smoking, you've probably noticed that the hungrier you are the more you smoke. hence, on day 6 when you'd kill for a cigerrete it almost seems miraculous that after a big steak and potatoe dinner, beer or 4 in hand, cravings go away/diminish.

When people smoke, nicotine takes over receptors normally allocated to food. ever notice how one tends to smoke more when hungry?
it's similar to this with other addictions as well, why people tend to put on/loose weight when recovering.

Hell, i'd even go far enough and say good eating can prevent and cure early stages of depression. How many people can say that after a good hearty meal they feel like crap? not a lot. After a good meal the most comman feelings are content'dness (not a word, i know). Bowns get a chance to grow, your body gets the nutrition required to grow. mental and physical requirements are met.
However, people sure are edgy when they havn't had a good meal in a while eh? stressfull situations are always that much more edgy, things always seem that much harder.

However you look at it, food is good. it makes us feel good and provides the energy are bodies need to function. Whether looked at basicly,the grande scheme of things, or not at all, just ask yourself, "what's for dinner?"
