Woman eats two cheeseburgers a week for a year and doesn't gain a pound (podcast interview) http://www.wnyc.org/story/cheeseburger-diet/ 30 minute podcast on a woman trying to find the best cheeseburger with fries in Louisville.  She eats two burger meals a week and doesn't gain weight (plus her blood work improves in some areas).  Her secret?  Being conscious of what she eats aside from the burgers and exercising.  Being mindful of her overall intake.   So, in other words, actually caring about herself, being aware, and sticking with her plan despite how she ate for two meals a week proves that it isn't the food companies.  It's the shitty attitude and lack of self-awareness that really makes them fat.  Self-victimization of the worst sort.   Tell your local ham about this podcast under the guise of finding food and watch their face get triggered. Includes a discussion of obesity, fat food, and calorie literacy. (Overall a good listen if you're interested in this kind of thing.  Bonus- she even takes a swipe at a hipster food truck that sucked.) EDIT- Yes, there is some shitlording on the podcast when they talk to experts about the obesity problem in America.
