Have they done studies into why morbidly obese people eat as much as they do? Stress, low self-esteem etc? I dunno- I've heard various things- for example, it's a vicious circle where [for some reason] you eat shitloads, your stomach stretches, which makes you hungrier, so you keep eating these huge amounts, and on and on an on. I know I used to eat shitloads of crap because ... well ... just because. I can't imagine why. Then one day I realized I looked repulsive and stopped.Darth Wong wrote:Mind you, that's a lot like the narcotics rationale where a drug user argues that occasional use of cocaine is harmless. Food is a potentially addictive substance (just look at all the morbidly obese people), so you want to limit even your splurges to something reasonable, just in case you start developing self-destructive habits.
No one anywhere in the world, save perhaps the Russians with their chocolate-covered pork fat, can approach the awfulness of the southern diet. We made collard greens bad for you, for fuck's sake. Fucking greens!Old News, I remember Joe and/or Mayabird relating some of the fine tales of eating in Atlanta. 'Twas a thread containing an article about how the cafeteria at the CDC serves fattening fried southern foods even as they try and fight the American obesity epedemic.

And that reminds me, I've been meaning to talk about the Turducken at some point. I think it showed up on the Colbert Report or something, but I doubt anyone believed it was real. It's a chicken, stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey, with stuffing ranging from simple breadbumbs to sausage stuffing, and often coated with BACON. People actually eat this; I've seen it at a few tailgates.
The thing about food like that is that you have to get used to it in order to handle the more extreme varieties. People who have become accustomed to a high-fat diet and then eat a more healthy diet for a long time can't go back easily. The old high-fat diet tastes disgusting; you feel horrible walking out of the restaurant. But you can start small and then work your way up to the bad shit, thus building up a resistance in much the same way that snake trainers develop a resistance to the venom.Joe wrote:No one anywhere in the world, save perhaps the Russians with their chocolate-covered pork fat, can approach the awfulness of the southern diet.

The same thing is true of vegetarian diets, I think. Some of the vegetarians I know say that for the first couple of months, being a vegetarian is hard, but after a little while the smell of meat cooking starts to be completely repulsive. Of course, there's probably lots of overlap between healthy eaters finding fatty foods repulsive and vegetarians finding meat repulsive, because meat tends to be fatty and vegetables tend to be healthy.Darth Wong wrote:The thing about food like that is that you have to get used to it in order to handle the more extreme varieties.

People who like that kind of food often assume that people who say "OMG that's disgusting" are just being health-conscious and intellectual, but honestly, someone who's not accustomed to that diet will actually find that it feels absolutely disgusting to eat food like that. It's not just the person denying himself something that he secretly wants.
