Not really completely true.
I agree that a diet over-run with fast food leads to obesity but so does eating mac and cheese, hot dogs and any other processed foods. The key is moderation, not deprivation.
Let's analyze this further:
Two women, both between the age of 20 and 35.
The thin girl: She eats whole fruits and vegetables, lean cuts of meats, works out for an hour 3 times a week, walks the halls of her local shopping malls once a week to buy more cute clothes to wear at the clubs on Saturday night. She never eats bread, pasta, or vegetables high in carbs. She doesn't partake in celebration cakes or cookies - deprives herself of many foods and skips entire meals several times a week. She fills up on s full glass of water before every meal so she doesn't have to eat entire portions of anything. She drinks every weekend and eats junk foods … followed by Monday and Tuesday morning strict diet and exercise routines. She has no medical ailments and her thyroid functions normally. She won't experience any adverse weight gain unless she gets sick, injured or reaches menopause. She attributes her physique to proper diet and exercise. She takes pride in, and values herself on, her appearance.
The fat girl is living on affordable home cooked meals. Her budget precludes fruits, vegetables, legumes and healthy cuts of meats on a daily basis. She eats smaller portions and exercises daily. Walks to work, rarely drinks and then only in moderation. She has an illness that is being treated with medications that make her gain weight uncontrollably. He weight gain has caused her to become depressed and for this she has been placed on anti-depressants which make her gain more weight. People look at her like she's disgusting. Total strangers give her unsolicited advice on weight loss, make jokes about her being too heavy for furniture, too large to fit through doorways and make rude jokes when she goes out with friends for an occasional sweet treat; they laugh and whisper under their breath derogatory remarks. These remarks hurt her feelings, wound her soul and make her more depressed - her doctor increases the dosage of her medication - she gains even more weight.
What the picture doesn't tell you is the circumstance behind the physique, be it good or bad. It let's you assume the fat girl is lazy and doesn't eat right or exercise and the thin girl is energetic and does everything right. This picture puts a gavel in your hand and let's you be judge and jury long before anyone gets to plead their case.
Next time before you form an opinion before you know all the facts, remember:
Judging someone you don't know, doesn't show what they're made of, it shows what you're made of.
