Maher/Corden and obesity

[Aegon]

We like to think so, and yet.

You controlled your genetics?  You control what tastes good to you?  You control feeling hungry?  You control the circumstances of your life, society, and civilization and how that interfaces with the previous items?

No, ofc not.  That's complete and utter hubris.  No one, absolutely no one, is arguing that you have no control.  Whatever control we have is necessarrily limited, and demonstrably compromised....and not the strongest predictor of obesity or of weight loss.  

Everyone has "control"...and yet........

I have control over my reaction to hunger (feeling hunger and realizing I dont actually need food), and yes, I can stop myself from: binge eating, overeating, and consuming too much sweet, or salty, "bad foods." Absolutely I do, no question. If you don't think you can then you're incorrect.

But no, I don't control my genetics. But now you're melding things together, since I already admitted that income is a factor in it. I thought we were talking about biology here...
