There was an article recently detailing a schools attempt to change its lunches. (No I don't remember which school and I'm not bothering to look it up.)
The school began only offering healthy foods to the kids. Something I for one am FOR and always have been. The theory being that if that's all there is to eat, they will eat it right? Guess what? The kids started bringing their lunches!
You know what? I also know WAY TOO MANY intelligent people that are fat. It's not just about smarts. I also know people I don't consider intelligent (my ex) who are fat NOW but 9 years ago when I met him he exercised and ate healthy foods.
I personally know some pretty smart people that have had gastric bypass. Why? Because it's EASIER to have someone surgically shrink their stomach and force them to eat smaller meals rather than choosing to do it themselves. Gastric bypass is forced behavior modification and intelligent people do it and frame it as something else..
Oh and I lived on pizza and ice cream in high school too. That doesn't mean that's what I ate the rest of my life.
