This is
Exactly.
So with many individuals that have a similar story, again, I'm preaching to the choir here, but really I'm talking to your audience.
Food becomes a defense structure, a coping mechanism.
And to give you an obvious example, somebody who may have been incested or raped might put on the weight to desexualize, and they're not doing it consciously, they're doing it unconsciously.
But I would argue that's probably a big reason of why she struggled with this.
Oh, go ahead, Doc.
Doc, one more thing that she does.
By doing this, she also completely lets Big Food off of the hook.
Because if we wanted to indict villains...
then we would go after big food.
I mean, the system has been rigged.
It is exceptionally harder because they have engineered the food to be hyperpalatable and ping all the pleasure centers of your brain so you literally can't eat just one.
But that's not what she's trying to accomplish.
She's not trying to solve any problems.
She's trying to make another quick buck and she's hurting people in the process.
And that stuff just makes me so frigging angry and I'm like a moth to a flame with it.
Anyway.
Yeah.
So long story short, Fox Nation had come to me and they said, we want to do a documentary about our food crisis in America.
