Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well, it seemed to me that the article focused on a constant obsession women have " every waking minute " , about their relationship with food. But as to your thoughts, I do feel that part of our culture encourages that thinking & behavior. Sometimes it does seem that there is an increase in such thinking & behavior. Then again, the most recent statistics I saw said that obesity stopped increasing & has leveled off. I'm still intrigued by the few that live on the worst foods, but apparently don't eat enough to become overweight.
