Overeating doesn’t have so much to do with the availability of food as it does with personality disorders and lifestyle issues.

For the most part, it seems that poor people are fat and wealthier people are in better shape. I wonder if one causes the other or they’re just related in some way.

The same self-discipline which makes successful people finish school and excel in their careers, also leads them to pay attention to their health with proper diet and exercise.

Obesity is related to nutrition. Poor nutrition and you eat more. Nutrition is not a lack of quantity, but quality, thus rich people tend to be thinner, not fatter.

Highly processed foods tend to be full of empty calories.

If you have the self-control to stop when you know you've had enough, you also have the self-control to succeed in life.
