The illusion of not having a choice So I'm housesitting for my aunt to take care of her dog. Looking through cupboards for this and that not knowing where she keeps the plates, I see all kinds of beetus goodies. Chips, cookies, toaster waffles, candy, syrups, every cupboard seems to have something like that in it. And yet, my aunt and cousins are slim and in perfect health. Why? BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE SELF CONTROL AND CAN CHOOSE NOT TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS AT CERTAIN TIMES. With the holidays coming, offices, home kitchens, and even shops around town are going to be having a constant platter of christmas cookies and hot chocolates and ciders and rum balls and candy canes and so one and so forth, not even counting the amount of feasts to be had. And as this time fast approaches I am hearing so much REEEING about how fatties aren't to blame for their winter weight gain, theres cookies everywhere they go and how are they supposed to just pass by them all? Just don't put everything you see into your mouth. Why do hams think that just because they can eat something, then they should eat it? Why do they think passing on the cookie platter in the breakroom is not an option? Hams of the world, you have a CHOICE. You can CHOOSE to NOT eat everything you lay you piggy little eyes on, my family is living proof. If this were a ham's house, the cupboard would have probably been cleaned out so as not to leave behind any precious beetus over the weekend. Just DON'T eat everything you pass by. It is not that hard.
