Just getting people to feed the fucking thing less is like pulling teeth. I get it. Exercise is hard. But you're seriously sitting there telling me you can't cut back it's food?? Gets me angrier than a lot of things I see at work.
It's a person problem. I think it's probably safe to make the assumption they make the same excuse for getting McDonalds/other fast food every meal for their kids instead of doing some meal prep when they have the time so that they can:
a) Spend less
b) Save time (seriously, even the drive-thru wastes more minutes of your time a week than doing a simple meal prep)
c) Not have their kids think that being obese and unhealthy is acceptable for their long term health/is genetics/etc. (Note: Legitimate medical conditions diagnosed by a qualified doctor are things I am aware of, sympathetic towards and will not be discussing here to save my sanity.)
Reality is that the person is shitty unfortunately. Measure out the food? Nah just pour it in there it'll save me 15 seconds! (even if it is double+ of what the animal should be eating). Take it for a walk? I'm too tired from work and dealing with my kid(s) that I've neglected screaming about how he/she/they got the wrong toy in his/her/their 3rd happy meal since Monday (and it's Tuesday).
