You hear more about women having Anorexia. I know for a fact Bulimia happens in men too. I had to report a kid working for me in the Navy after noting he went to throw up after EVERY MEAL Compulsive overeating is probably the most common. Think about the person that eats lightly during the workday but keeps grazing from the fridge when confronted with being alone for the night. Exercise addiction is a related disorder. One gent I know will eat a whole bucket of KFC then go doing cardio workout for six hours after work. His whole life revolves around huge meals followed by insane amounts of exercise.
Current research shows that there is a genetic pre-disposition. There is also a huge issue with the intestinal flora as well. In lab rats, you give them a biotic mix from an obese rat and that rat becomes obese. The term "fecal transplant" gets a huge ewwwww factor but the research is being done in humans now. There are gastric infections (and not talking parasitology) that will cause changes resulting in cravings for things like salt or sweet foods. I think that when the research shakes out; obesity will become treatable with appropriate biotic medication coupled with behavior modification training.
Sidebar:
A lot of the "everyone knows" kind of stuff actually doesn't hold water when tested. Corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, doesn't cause diabetes it is just another sugar to the digestive system. But, you can consistently and provably give lab rats diabetes by giving them artificial sweeteners. "Sweet" causes insulin production to handle the sugar properly. Giving "sweet" with nothing to work on just trains the pancreas to make less insulin... the definition of diabetes is insufficient insulin production. So goes the hypothesis that is undergoing animal trials.
Can't really separate this all out here so here goes :
Anorexia and bolemia may actually have physical causes. This is what we are not finding yet, or at least all of it. I used to be able to eat three big heaping plates of spaghetti (as long as the sauce was good) and barely feel full. Now, one medium plate is plenty. But I am no longer a growing boy, and I am not all that active. I am still losing the battle of the bulge but slowly.
I am sure these conditions occur in Men, actually so does breast cancer. Less, but it happens. But the question is how much of this is mental. When I was a kid, well not quite, I had a car, we used to go to the icecream shop this one guy would always throw up after eating his icecream. And we did not fuck around, we got banana splits (mine with no chocolate so you could really taste it) and such, not just cones. This girl with us said something about he might make himself diabetic or something if he kept it up. She was in some kind of school. She probably read somewhere that bolemics are more likely to be diabetic, but then that does ot prove what caused what, or even if there is a causation. Correlation does not equal causation. I saw him again a few months ago and he seemed to still have hair and teeth so I guess he is alright, but I doubt he kept on doing that. He was also a crackhead for a while but grew out of that, he is 56 now.
But anyway, we are back where we started. We do not know whether it is nature or nurture. And who cares ?
I like to smoke pot. Someone out there came out with an article, I mean a doctor not Joe Sixpack, that there is a THC receptor in some people's brains and that makes them like it. And indeed I have introduced others to it who said it did not get them high. One was one of my friend's Mother, she said it cleared her sinuses. I've known people who can drink a whole fifth of eighty proof liquor and drive perfectly, even get stopped by the cops and not even suspected of drunk driving. Others can't drink three lightweight beers and even walk to their car. It is said that any Orientals get sick fro alcohol, but I am sure it does not mean all of them, someone is making saki over there so someone is drinking it.
While the physical and the mental have to be studied more TOGETHER, we do know that body chemistry as well as brain chemistry can be affected by other influences. And each other. It is a big ass complicated mess but then we are dealing with the most complex machine on the face of the Earth - humans.
I used to think that being homosexual was a willful act. Impelled by one's desires of course but due to their weakness. then I get into a serious discussion with a homosexual Man and I learned.
He said nobody would choose this. They find out at school you get picked on, other things too, like on the outside. But the fact is that if you see a really nice broad and she doesn't turn you on but her boyfriend does, what the fuck do you want me to do about it ? And then I remembered my kink. just a regular barenaked Lady doesn't do much for me. But get her a collar and cuffs then we are talking here. I can't help that.
I don't know why. And neither do they. And the same with the anorexics. If they knew the root of the problem they could address it.
But with homosexuals, that is different. People say the Earth is not overpopulated but they are full of shit. We only have so much land where we can actually live. I think people sense that instinctively and are thus more likely to go homo. It has been proven in many animal experiments and really, the sexual part of your life is pretty much animal.
Hopefully :-)
