Do You Realize Most Of Your Current Addictions Is Not Your Fault?

It’s by systemic design to get you hooked

Before I begin, I want to warn you that the topics of addiction I am referring to are social media and food. These two were my personal addictions, but after watching an enlightening documentary and reading Johann Hari’s latest book, I realize that more has been happening around me — around us, that is triggering a base response.

When it comes to diabetes, I’ve heard it all:

“You must have ate too much.”

“You’ve got to exercise!”

“You have to stay away from sugar!”

I believe half the people saying this, eat pretty much everything I have and do not work out as much as I do, but the conclusion is still the same: It’s something I did all alone and I need to be punished for it.

Do I?

Do I need to punish myself, or is something else more sinister at work here?

In Julie Cunningham’s 30 Days to Tame Type 2 Diabetes, she tells us that it is not completely our fault that our bodies are having trouble with insulin. She says we are literally near every convenience known to man. We are inundated with juicy burger commercials, gooey cheese ads, and warm chocolate chip cookies.
