probably the latter...our bodies have come to crave the various chemicals that are used to preserve and/or fatten up our meats. This is another reason we love McDonald's (I can't wait to have a burger after my month of vegetarian is up).

Well except 18 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week at McDonald's and Wal-Mart b/c you have no health care, are undereducated, and have no good grocery stores within walking distance to get the healthy food you know you need OR no parental supervision from those that should be getting you healthy food and instead are informed by television about what you should eat (some studies have shown that 95% of children's food ads are junk food) .

I'm not saying that individuals should take no blame, but we seriously have to consider why in capitalist countries this has become such a problem.

You definitely make valid points and ideally I agree. I currently teach in the South Bronx, and before I worked as a medicaid health care representative and life insurance agent, primarily in under-served neighborhoods. Through my experience, I've learned that the person you describe above working their ass off are typically not obese. Studies are studies, not to be confused with real life ..

i know, a couple friends and I wrote a book chapter about how just counting up fat people in urban areas or in rural area and saying it has to do with socio-economic status isn't enough even though many academics build their grant getting careers on this...we need more people like you to share your voice and expertise. Either way...McDonald's can be delicious once in awhile.
