Maybe, but freeze is one of the reactions along with fight and flight.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

That is not, at all, the meeting of addicted.

More like:

“I can spend a ton of executive function thinking about and preparing food in a way contrary to what the food industry and their advertisers, food engineers, psychologist, etc., try to get a person to do while having only a slight chance at losing weight if I’ve already gained it. I’ll probably do so by getting involved in the super scammy diet industry.”

Vs

“I don’t want to spend that much of my life thinking about, preparing, tracking food (maybe because I have an eating disorder/medical issue/mental health issues, maybe because it’s just not worth it to me)”

It’s also not just a choice, it’s dozens of choices every day, forever.

You’re way oversimplifying it. We’re not going to magically get better humans, so maybe changing the systems would be a better way to get results than relying on people and industry to change their behavior (which is obviously not working).

“It’s easy for me, therefore it’s easy for anybody.”

And as we all know, rice is all carbs!

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

That’s like saying losing chess against a grandmaster is a choice because you pick where the pieces go.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Just on your last point, sugar is not more addictive than narcotics. That’s complete bunk. Provide a primary source for that claim if you want to refute me, but all those headlines about that topic were sensational and were basically based on sugar lighting up the same part of the brain as narcotics, namely the pleasure areas. So we like them both, but that has no bearing on addictiveness.

It’s not simple math. It’s biology, sociology, psychology, medicine, etc.

“Cannot stop choosing”

Come on.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Here’s a few ways:

Information: does an individual know chess rules? Openings? En passant? Do they want to spend the time and effort to learn? Are they getting their info from reliable sources or are they learning bongcloud and knooks?

Difference in skill level: the food and diet industries have thousands of specialists on their side with experience in psychology, advertisement, economics, lobbying, etc. Grandmasters can set up traps that new like a good idea to their opponent while thinking 10 steps ahead.

Complexity: chess and diet are not a single choice, but a series of choices, some of which make later moves more difficult.

Effort: it takes a long time to learn enough to even put up a decent resistance to a grandmaster, let alone win. It’s more than I’d care to put in. I don’t want to think about chess all the time. That’s called a chessing disorder.

CICO is not only reductive to the point of being useless, it’s also bad advice for weight loss or maintenance.

Consistent throughout many studies, calorie restriction induces a reduction in energy expenditure that is larger than the loss of metabolic mass, i.e. fat-free mass and fat mass, can explain.

In laymen’s terms: the body reduces metabolism in response to weight loss.

You don’t seem to understand the topic beyond a few catchphrases, so I’m done interacting with you. Have a good one.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Again: “compulsively” “helplessly”.

Look, if you’re not interested in admitting that words have meaning, you’re not arguing in good faith and I’m done with you. Have a good one.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

You’re straw manning me. I’m not saying people don’t have a choice. But they’re still going to lose. It doesn’t matter that I have a choice of which piece to move when the point is not to move pieces, but to checkmate. Saying there are choices misses the point.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

So one choice doesn’t impact another unless it’s to make a habit? Come on, you can’t have a rule apply to my point but not to your point.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Yeah, on second thought, you do make a good point.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Apparently it’s short for “god damn” when one finds someone attractive.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

I can no longer read tentacles without thinking “Don’t buy a boat.”

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

“Everything” was a lot smaller back then.

“I am once again asking for material components.”

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Is that anything like night soil?

I thought he sold kebabs and other skewers, like serpents.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

I’m not the one that ruined it. It was already ruined.

Kinda interesting in light of a cure that didn’t work most of the time when it was tried: severing the auditory nerves. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6915835/

In Japan, you make anime with these types of ideas. In Keijo one professional athlete judo throws another using her (the thrower’s) nipple.
