mostly people who drink diet sodas are not THIN
Back in the Eighties, I was in downtown Denver at a big fast food operation. There were like 200 people in line. This woman that weighed like 400 lbs ordered four orders of fries, several shakes, four double-cheeseburgers and, when the clerk said "Will that be all?", she replied "I'll have a jumbo-sized diet Coke."
I think you could have heard the queue folks laughing three blocks away. I know it sounds mean but it was one of those things in life that take you by surprise and you just start laughing because it's so ridiculous. Yeah, like that diet Coke was going to make a difference in a 4,000 calorie snack.
Of course, most obese people don't actually eat more than the rest of us do. It's just a stereotype.

I have a sister who is 5’3” and weighs 500 pounds. She lives on diet soda. Listen to the term sodium saccharan what is the first word, sodium and what does too much salt do? makes you hold water weight.
I worked for a few years at a Bob’s Big Boy Restaurant. I cannot tell you how many people would come in and order a Hot fudge cake, or a Hot fudge sundae with a diet coke. AMazing.

Yes, obese people just gain weight from the thin air.

Find me the most honest person in the room, and the one thing they’ll lie about is their weight, and diet.
We’re a nation of gluttons. Be it food, money, sex, power, toys, whatever - we’re a nation of greedy, lazy gluttons.
If you’re completely honest with yourself, you’ll see it.
What you do after realizing it...defines you. I chose to not be like that. If you disagree, fine. It’s your life.
