Hi Vic

This makes sence to me. When I was growing up food was used as

one of many punisments. I would hide food because I knew I might

or might not be fed for days at a time. This I feel contributed

to my obesity and closet eating.

AMEN!! Remember back when they decided that advertising cigarettes and

alcohol had to be regulated and limited? Wonder when they're going to

catch on about food...

I remember coming home right after my surgery and watching television - and

being constantly bombarded with commercials for a pizza chain and their

" cheesy bread " - I wanted it SO bad and I didn't want to even eat - I had

NO physical hunger at that point. I feel like I've developed some immunity

to it at this point, but a strategically placed ad can still catch me

unawares and get me thinking about food I don't want or need. These people

who make the ads are VERY good at their jobs!

We do live in a society of ridiculous abundance. And I think we need to

learn to manage that abundance in better ways than turning our food into

junk that doesn't nourish us but just makes us fat. And maybe share the

wealth a bit more with those who need it...
