This quote was from a TV program about obesity. The doctor that was being interviewed was slim, and very good looking.
He was talking about heart disease and obesity….when he suddenly said: it’s like feeling hungry is like a crime.
He was talking about the people he was treating for morbid obesity….and how these people treat hunger as if it was a crime…and to feel hungry had to be quickly treated with eating food.

Quote
Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated
Truth is the handmaiden of love
Dialogue is the pathway to truth
Humility is recognition of personal insufficiency and the willingness to learn
To learn is to die voluntarily and be born again, in great ways and small
So speech must be untrammeled
So that dialogue can take place
So that we can all humbly learn
So that truth can serve love
So that suffering can be ameliorated
So that we can all stumble forward to the Kingdom of God.
– Jordan B. Peterson
