I was watching an old rerun of Opera just then and I had to pass it since I was getting so mad.
They were talking about giving the operation to children and the parents were saying that there kids need it, and they were talking to the kids about how it changed them and they were saying how they couldn’t keep two cheeseburgers with fries down anymore, they could only eat one with fries.
I swear to you I SCREAMED at my television.
It seemed so ridiculous to me that a parent would put there child through an invasive surgery to stop them from over eating rather then controlling what they ate.
I am slightly prejudiced on this because I am vegan but a healthy well balanced vegan lifestyle cuts out all saturated fats and trans fats out of your diet as well as processed sugars.
Eating a diet of fresh fruit, veg, grains, nuts, and seeds seems so much less drastic then surgery.
Even when asked about their eating habits now they were saying they just bought lower calorie foods.
So, that sounds just like a whole lot of processed foods rather then the fresh stuff.
Gosh, one of the kids put on 50 pounds in a month! How is that possible, yet they are advocating that the surgery helped them and that they tried all these diets…
It wasn’t diabetes since they were checked for all that, these kids just over ate all the wrong foods.
Am I the only one who thinks that this represents a serious problem in Western culture (I’m in Australia but I KNOW this is a problem in most Western countries)??
THANKS
OPRAH! SORRY!
BTW I KNOW you can be overweight eating vegan, I said CAN be.
There is HEAPS of vegan junk food out there that’s why I noted the good foods.
