no...you're wrong...they don't NEED all those calories...that's why they're fat...you don't have to walk away from the table feeling full...you have to walk away from the table having consumed all of the calories required to keep your body and brain functioning properly. also, if you're obese? you've already reprogrammed your brain to overeat. thus, in order to conquer your obesity, you will need to get used to walking around feeling a little bit hungry all the time...probably for the rest of your life...and most people don't have that kind of fortitude. but, i couldn't disagree with you more. fat people consume more calories than they need...that's why they're fat...and almost every poor person in the u.s. is fat...they make poor choices when they go grocery shopping...they equate "feeling full" to being properly nourished...and they over eat to feel full. they need to consume less carbohydrates...and they can choose to do so.
