You maybe thought it was food?

Mind is Empty
Emptiness is Clear Light
Clear Light is Union
Union is Great Bliss

Re: You maybe thought it was food?
I think what she's saying is that because of the composition of McDonald's food, the body doesn't metabolize it, and the food material remains in the body instead of being expelled, leading to obesity. As she says: "Once it gets in our thighs, there's no breakdown. It doesn't go anywhere."
In fairness, I wonder if that's actually a plausible description of what happens in the body? I have the impression (perhaps mistaken) that obesity is a bit more complicated than that.

Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

She makes some good points, but isn't she kind of chubby herself?

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
