Answer:
Sjoberg and colleagues analyzed data from 4,703 children, aged 15 and
17 years, who participated in the Survey of Adolescent Life in
Vestmanland 2004, a psychosocial health survey administered
triannually in Sweden.

again, do you know anything about causes of obesity? growing up, my parents
were very strict about eating. no fast food. no red meat. only fish,
chicken, and turkey, no skin, white meat only. several vegetables and
fruits with every meal. only healthy snacks, no deserts, home made granola
for breakfast, whole grain bread, etc. i didn't have a soda until i was in
my mid teens. and yet, i was heavy my whole teen years. how was that
possible, when i was on a healthy diet? oh wait, maybe it was *genetic*?

is the CDC credible enough for you? or just another government conspiracy?
binge eating disorder is NOT about greed. it's about trauma, sadness,
anger, depression. many women who binge eat have been raped or molested as
children and eat to hide their bodies so they won't be "attractive" to
rapists. many people over eat carbs because carbs increase serotonin
production which gives them a short term solotion to their depression, but
then dumps them back deeper into it, making them want to eat more and more.
once you're fat, it is harder and harder to stop overeating because your
body is used to it. you feel like you're starving if you don't eat.
there's also the dieting problem... restricting your caloric intake slows
the metabolism, and restrictive diets are nearly impossible to maintain. so
when you go back to eating "normally", you gain even more than you lost.
it's a vicious cycle. it's probably difficult to understand if you've never
been there, but to call it "greed and gluttony" is incredibly insensitive.
