I am not a vegan. I like my steak. But, I also know that what Americans eat is killing us.
He looks like hell, but he actually is his target weight. We are “programmed” to accept bodies that are twenty or thirty pounds overweight as “normal.”
A quick trip to any grocery store or mall will support my stand that we are an obese country. Sure, many folks are fine. But many more are not—especially the kids.
So, while Bill Clinton looks like crap, his eating habits have gotten a lot better than most of us.
Not true. Bill Clinton looks like crap because he has an unhealthy diet (granted, not as unhealthy as some, but not healthy, either), and because he is clearly very unhealthy, if not quite diseased. He may have hit his “target weight”, but that “target” is too low. Healthy people (especially men) with a healthy amount of musculature are going to be technically obese, because the people setting “targets” are incorrect.
Steak, and meat products in general, are not the cause of obesity. Rather, they are the cure for obesity, and for many other health ailments, as well. High volumes of sugar, or simple carbs, processed foods, unnatural oils, heavily processed “meat” products — these are the causes of poor health and, in some cases, obesity. Not meat.
