I agree that people with "obsessions" often do great things. I put "obsessions" in quotes because I'm not sure how we would always agree on what constitutes an obsession. Was Albert Einstein obsessed or just following a passionate interest in the wonders of the universe?
What about other occupations:
Are chefs obsessed with food because they think about food every working day of their lives? Perhaps that's the reason they chose to become a chef in the first place.
How about the author of a cookbook or a series of cookbooks?
How about a dietition or nutritionist?
What about the person who came up with the idea of orthorexia? Did that person have an obsession? It must have been on their mind a lot.
What about people who treat such obsessions?
What about all the many health clubs in The Villages? Are they all obsessed?
What about The Villages preoccupation with becoming America's Healthiest Hometown?
How many people in the U.S. are on a diet at any given time? 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men.
How many people go on a diet each year
