The tendency to "blame the victim" is a habit of those in conventional
medicine. It is arrogant and abusive. The attitude is that a person MUST
be cheating, because after all, we all KNOW that it is easy to lose and
maintain a healthy weight if one just sticks to the diet they were given
(the USDA Food Pyramid).
