    Skipping meals, too, isn't a sure-fire way to slim down.

I always find this sentence a bit strange, reading it as I do from the point of view of someone who regularly skips meals because I don't have time to cook/money for a lot of food. And I sure as fuck lose weight. Wish I didn't.

The real problem is, of course, that if you skip meals by choice and not by necessity, if you don't have any self control you don't actually skip the meal, you eat chips all day, or compensate at dinner by eating four times as much. Why people can't understand this is beyond me.

    Healthy food is more expensive than junk food

Are we really still trotting this out?

I didn't know a simple vegetable garden cost that much. /s

Lazy people will bitch and moan about everything until someone gives them what they want. Then they'll start again.
