Look at the rage that a dumb article from the largest propaganda machine ever created, was able to produce in 6.9 seconds.
Eat healthy AND don’t watch fox or cnn. Please It is not deep, but it does describe their playbook and standardized methods. And you are correct....it all feeds on fear, followed by rage, then the adrenalin kick of owning the evil libs with the 'last word' of any given segment. They don't exactly remind us of Edward R. Morrow. |

It's not as simple as "Americans are lazy.". The deck is stacked against us for healthy eating from a very young age. You're very fortunate if you are in an educated family that has time and money to make healthy choices for you from a young age. Then, you get to schools and are consistently given options that are unhealthy. Recent efforts to push healthy food options in school were repealed or hard fought.
Then you get to adulthood and know you're overweight and want to make changes. There are myriad of "nutrition" schemes looking to make a buck off of you. Everywhere you turn, you're inundated with scientifically researched ploys to get you to buy and consume... Looking at you golden arches. Yes, there needs to be some accountability for your own personal actions but you have to overcome decades of bad habits and surround yourself with people who are just as committed as you are... AND be comfortable with doing it for a very long time to get results. Same thing with grocery stores. There’s so much CRAP on the shelves it’s unbelievable. I used to work in retail grocery while working on my CFI. I tell people in my family of how insane and truly horrible it is that we sell the things that we do in grocery stores. Most of the stuff is garbage. Most of the food isn’t really food, it’s like food. I’ll admit that even as someone who’s pretty physically active, it can be tempting at times to eat a little more ‘crap’ food than I probably should. We all do it. But sometimes people really do have to find the inner grit and determination in them to say no to all the junk and get outside and go run or lift weights. It’s very, very hard to do at first especially if they were never physically active before. It takes about 2-3 weeks to make physical fitness a habit. Once people get past that point, it starts to become ingrained in them that it’s something good for them and they actually WANT to do it. Prior to that 2-3 week mark though, their bodies are just not conditioned to ‘want it.’ They hate it and at some point prior to 3 weeks, the vast majority of them who embarked on their fitness program eventually give in to the self induced pressure to quit and give it up too easily. |
Four pages of posts based on a Fox News article about someone with a 5000 signature petition 🙄🙄🙄
Maybe we can do a few pages on stinky or ugly people next? |

Bit of a sidebar but, for context, in 1985 none of the main 4 offered seating narrower than 19 inches, and we were a heck of a lot thinner as a society back then. So the causation is not on fat people entitlement being the genesis of this problem.
Furthermore on volumetrics, even though seat pitch is the one the airlines like to handwave most about, 67% (according to a 1,300 wide survey, see hyperlinked source) list seat width as the main detractor for airline travel. Survey answer which I share and belong to. It's absolutely unjustifiable that the profit margin post-deregulation (given the absolute swarm that is our current flight volume in present times) is argued as soooo thin, that volumetrics arbitrage which makes the 1980s seem humanitarian by comparison, is the only way these so called titans of industry can fly these copy-paste, Streetcar equivalent, winged phalli and stay in business. Complete canard. Lastly, to turn around about how I should pay a grand USD for the "privilege" of discretionary travel while being crammed into a volume of space where 3 US gen pop males can only have a total of 5 arms in width. To say nothing of being compelled to display equivalent gratitude as would be expected of a natural disaster visa-seeking Salvadorian, clutching to my rosary and trading 3 hours of physical discomfort and proxemics-abrogation for the sake of the rest of my life? Complete dishonest broker of apologetics-balderdash, that predictable shaming from the usual suspects. Where does the slippery slope end? Don't answer that I'm being rhetorical. |
A few loosely related points here:
-Losing weight takes discipline and dedication. -$1 will get you more calories of “junk food” than “healthy food”. Soda is cheaper than water. Not everyone has the luxury of choice there. -There’s a psychological component as well. You’re happier eating a cheeseburger than a salad. -There are bigger seats, with much more room, and all the snacks you can eat. Usually located closer to the front of the plane. |

Try to remember that those "fat gordo" passengers that you hate so much are the ones paying your hourly wage. The people who want the bigger seats? They're ponying up the dough.
It's really not a good look to ***** about the customer. |

Why thank you, I take that as a compliment. In my previous medical career I saved quite a few lives. Have you?
