yeah, and then they push 'fat acceptance' so the impulsive cattle keeps consuming without any guilty

Makes sense why theres so few fat geniuses in history.

Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Bach.

I also think that lower iq people are naturally more likely to get obese in the first place, so, that might play a role.

They argue that their findings support the Reward Deficit and the Inhibitory Control Deficit theories of obesity. The Reward Deficit Theory postulates that obese individuals overeat to compensate for a lowered responsivity of reward brain regions in response to food consumption, possibly as a result of dopamine deficiency. The Inhibitory Control Deficit theory proposes that frontal brain regions responsible for higher-level cognitive control are less effective at inhibiting behaviors, making such individuals more sensitive to temptation of appetizing foods, which they are less able to inhibit, leading to overeating.

thoughts?

I'd be surprised if they didn't
