True, many of us medicate ourselves with food (OMG, I just did it myself, a blob of goat cheese!) but would we do it if our metabolism wasn't set up this way? I'm suspicious of facile theories from the therapist industry, remember the unmitigated codswallop and horsepuckey about "refrigerator moms" causing autism. So I'm leery of some explanation about people 'wanting' to be overweight. Easy to say, hard to prove. or disprove. Bill
