If you could figure out what pleasure death fats get from shoving as much salt, fat and carbs (of any culinary quality or makeup) into their maw you'd sell more books than Dr. Atkins and Oz and Z combined as presumably you could offer an anecdote.
My pet theory is that their hunger hormones and pleasure center in the brain are so fucked that somehow they've managed to get physically addicted (with a dopamine and other pleasure transmitter rush) to fat, sugar and salt. And like any addiction there is a mental compulsion and dissociation with the activity.
You can see it on AL and Chantal's faces when they eat "healthy" versus junk food. They are getting high off junk food, just like a dope fiend. They are not getting high off food (even calorie dense food) that does not hit the fat, sugar salt bomb. lifebyjen is similar. even her "keto snacks" are literally called "fat bombs".
The eating in the car specifically is a shame thing. She is ashamed to eat that way around her family, around Bibi, "his sister" and sitting down at the restaurant. That's why her eyes dart around, that's why the couple arguing by the dumpster at 2AM as she binged on Taco Bell and god knows what else pissed her off so much. It's like a family walking into to the bathroom just as you're about to inject the good shit. The dirty looks will bring shame and the shame isn't the feeling they are looking for.
Shame is often times society's way of policing destructive behavior. Forget folks that say shaming is bad. Sometimes sure, but not always or even often.
@Chardee MacDennis read the fucking thread.
