Blame the chocolates

I was reading about Tom Hanks being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (Irish Examiner, Oct 8).

He seemed to blame his diabetes on him losing and gaining weight for movie roles. I think it was from all the takes of him sitting on the bench, eating chocolates, waiting for the bus, in the movie Forrest Gump. “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.”
