Just kind of curious why that post about food culture in America irritates you?

It’s a pretty minor thing actually as relates to that post. There’s a common misconception that eating a lot is the cause of getting fat (pigging out until you get huge, as the post puts it), and there’s all kinds of science that refutes that idea. Unfortunately, the perception over here is that people who are fat just continually stuff our faces when the fact is that I could eat the exact same things as most of the thin people I know and I would gain weight where they would not due to genetics and our different metabolisms, not because they have some kind of vigorous gym routine (they don’t). The majority of the post is really good, and I do in fact agree that it’s tiresome to hear over and over again that American food is disgusting, our portions are horrible, etc. For what it’s worth, I’m a bit not myself this week, so please disregard me and my grumping.
