Being Fat in America Is Nothing Like Being Fat Abroad.

Reading this article, I realized something (probably because I am a low-empathy person in general): fat people feel like being fat is something that just, somehow, happens to them. However, when I was fat it was totally clear to me why it was the case: I ate way too goddamn much and thus made myself fat.

Body control and control of one’s own mind seem primary to me. Without those, what do you have? Not much. Not much at all. Glad I can do both of those things relatively easily.
