The easy access to good-tasting and/or high-calorie and/or
addictive food is a big factor, I think. If we all had to cook
our treats (and for that matter, put as much effort into that as
one had to in days of yore), we would be in better shape.

All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently
opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
