How I lost a LOT of weight

[canetoad]

3. From memory

You're not in the US are you?

People do a lot of things without questioning because of habit and convention. I've also come to believe that sugar and fat are more addictive than nicotine and much more insiduous in certain diets.

I lived in the UK until I was 11. My parents were teens during the war and rationing, but I grew up within the rationing culture (born 1954). I think the 'more is MORE' culture stems from the idea of American exceptionalism.
