Peony, on obesity... You made
Peony, on obesity...
You made some excellent points. I know there are many different reasons why many people are overweight and I cannot judge them all. However, as a personal trainer and a Catholic, walking around each day, people I see have no concept of what a healthy portion size is and as Americans we lean towards overindulgence. It's like we have the right to eat until we are full because we can.
As a parent, I cannot tell you how often I see parents allow their children to eat until they are full, or allow their children to snack out of boredom. I am always the bad Mommy: "no, you cannot eat that, you ate, you are not hungry".
Your post was excellent. I could comment a great deal, but I do not want to be any more redundant than I already have been.
