This is what is so confusing to me.  It's absolutely no cost to simply stop eating less of what you're already eating.  There's no diet industry conspiracy.  They exist because these people are too dumb to figure out that they just need to eat LESS.  Not magic food from WW or Jenny Craig or expensive organic foods... just less overall.    And "I'm too poor for a gym membership!"  Guess what?  Walking is free.  There are lots of people who go to the park and walk around to get their exercise or walk around their own neighborhood, why is this such a foreign concept to them?  Here in Colorado we have tons of walking & hiking trails, but you mostly see skinny and fit people using them.  Don't they realize that if they see skinny people out walking around that it might be a good idea for them to emulate those folks and start to be more like them?  Ugh!  I know the answers, they're just too lazy or too entrenched in the victimhood of obesity to do anything about it.
