“Too Much of a Good Thing” Summary In the article “Too Much of a Good Thing,” by Greg Critser, he made many things clear about the morbid obesity problem in America. More often than not, it starts as a child. A study was done at Pennsylvania State University that proved that as children get older, they do not know when they are full; the children would eat what is placed in front of them (161). Crister suggests that this is a problem that could easily be corrected if the parents would take the time to correct this. In fact Crister stated that, in earlier times, parents believed that gluttony was wrong. Adults saw it as one of the seven deadly sins (162).
