Episode 22: Obesity — Whose Fault Is It, Anyway?

Humans… we love to find something or someone to fault – usually when things are going the way we would like them to. If I’m arguing with my husband, I want to blame him, whether or not he started the argument. It’s easier and definitely more emotionally comfortable to point the finger at him than to look at what part I play in the situation! The same can be true regarding diseases… we want to find reasons (that have nothing to do with ourselves) for having the disease. Obesity can be like that for some people. The blame game is not going to help anyone when we are talking about a multifaceted disease like obesity that has so many contributing factors.
