While the ton of the piece is jarring, what is true is that the last thing that people think it's a moral failing, is obesity. It's not in dogs, some Golden Retrievers are particularly bad about this. or for that matter, mice bred to be obese, selected for it. But humans, never mind we are animals, genetics and hormones become a moral failing.

However this will not change until we see this switch to a more scientific way of losing weight (it's possible, and not because of beauty standards, but health), changes,.

For that to happen., the MEDICAL and DIETETICS profession need to admit they got it wrong. Ah yes, Ancel Keys, don't get me started...

Here is how I do it...and yes, my own story on this.

For health reasons I would love to lose another 20 pounds, but I am afraid I am at the studiously defended space that my body will not want to go under, until some time passes and it realizes, I am not missing meals (well beyond breakfast due to IF)
