    Ahhh.

    Much better ones here (although the fast food & coke thing is pretty out there).

    Yeah, technically birth control doesn't directly cause weight gain but, if you aren't going to track calories for the rest of your reproductive life, it can skew your 'calories in' so you do gain weight.

    It is not really 'natural' to have to deliberately control your intake. Wild animals don't get morbidly obese due to their lack of food scales, they instinctively know how much to eat. In that way, birth control doesn't directly cause weight gain but it surely predisposes you to it.

    You should see the rabbits on my property...they could use some food scales...
