There's been a bit of a public debate this week about whether heavily obese people should be able to get weight reduction surgery free of cost on the National Health Service.
Different people have different views, but one opinion that's expressed quite commonly is that there are overweight people who have tried their best with diets over the years, but diets just don't work for them so that they need the extra help offered by surgery.
And I think I may have uncovered the reason why their dieting fails:
We were shown a short piece to camera by one woman who was making a sandwich while telling us about her failure to lose weight - and we watched her ladle that butter (or low fat spread, or mayo, or whatever) onto the bread in a layer thick enough to swim in, making sure to cover every minute corner.
The notion of a thin scrape of butter and not bothering to go to the edges, had apparently not occurred to her. Or to her health advisors.
