Cancel the Honeymooners and Jackie Gleason show. Then cancel Roseanne again, and anything at all with John Goodman in it. Thith meanth war! (lithpophobic quote)

In prehistoric times, those were very useful traits while hunting cave bears, to determine who would go first.

“People following diet and exercise precisely with no changes WILL hit a wall.”

And what do you do then?

When you hit that wall you have to make changes that increase net burn.

People usually are already down to 1500 calories per day at that point. Going lower is not advised.

So the only alternative is change exercise. If you are not already doing weights,start. And if you are already doing weights as part of workout, then increase weight lifted.

More reps maybe, but better more weight. This will add muscle and increase BMR. So if you exercycle xx minutes and lift weights by mins, increase the weight lifted and continue the exercycle regimen.

It is impossible to say with absolute certainty that an individual is unhealthy simply because they are fat.

It's more accurate to say that "It is impossible to say with absolute certainty that an individual is unhealthy simply because they are fat. But, if you ask your doctor, his advice will be to lose some weight, because in the vast majority of cases, it is more healthy to be thinner."

Skimmed the first part of this article. That is all I needed to do to get the gist of it. Esp. the part about the cishet White Male.

Apparently, we have now been identified as the source of all the world's problems.

Never heard of it.

Apparently that whole Twitter account is a spoof how it is not shutdown by the woke overlords is impressive. Just reading it hurts my head with all the trigger words. I had to Google some of the sexual terms they were so woke.

You should be afraid of it. It will kill you and make you miserable. This is coming from a slowly ex-fat person.

No, actually obesity is our #1 health crisis. Obesity leads to higher deaths from a whole host of causes with heart disease and cancer in the lead though there are many others....such as diabetes.

Pathetic attempts to excuse people for being way too fat like the one above are harmful to public health. We need to send the message out that being fat is unhealthy. We as a country, desperately need to lose weight. We are among the fattest countries on earth. If that hurts somebody right in the feels....too bad. That’s reality. Deal with it.

and oh by the way.....it is not “images in the media” or “toxic masculinity”....or even toxic femininity or any other reason why we find fatness unattractive. Its biology. Our brains have been programmed by biology to find what is healthy to be attractive and what is unhealthy to be unattractive. Being excessively fat is unhealthy and thus is correctly naturally perceived by people as being unattractive.

The solution is not to whine and cry and talk about how we need to initiate a propaganda campaign to falsely tell people being fat is healthy. The solution is for fat people to put down the fork and get more exercise.

OK, you got me.

Leftists are so effed up today, that I literally could not tell that that was satire.
