Summary

This quote suggests that the urge or compulsion to eat excessive amounts of food should not be solely attributed to a person's character or lack of self-control. Instead, it proposes that this behavior is driven by a chemical disorder in the body. Essentially, it implies that factors such as imbalances of certain chemicals or hormones in the brain could be the underlying cause of food compulsion, rather than personal flaws or weaknesses.

It was a good 15 or 20 years before anyone at Rand would be in the same room with me. They didn't want the question raised, 'What's your relationship with Daniel Ellsberg?' And not one of them wrote me a letter because they didn't want a letter of theirs to show up in my trash - which the FBI had been going through.
