I think so too. Ive tried to eat the right foodsbut who's is to say what are the right foods. I also tried being a vegetarian for a while, but I wanted meat. I think I do better when I don not watch TV with all the commercials about food, wven when I am not hungry, the commercial makes me want to eat.

I think the media and all the diet books ever written brainwashed us all into thinking there were “right†foods to eat. Because we want to believe that something outside ourselves will take care of the problem for us, we relied on the “diet†to take care of us. I became a vegetarian for 11 years, truly believing that by just giving up meat my weight would return to normal. It sounded like the right kind of diet. I didn’t factor in all the cakes, donuts and ice cream as possible culprits in my continuing struggle with obesity! lol. I also followed several other diets that practically became cult like because people would use the diet as part of their identity. So much power we give food and the ideas they represent. So many labels and categories. why, people actually wear restaurant logo’s on their clothing to identify with a brand name! They buy food and drink merchandise,

because it become a part of an identity. I never understood it, but there it is and it permeates everything we think about food and eating.
