[QUOTE=Wingtip220;3625046 We’re exposing the absurdity and entitlement mentality of certain demographics because they have access to social media platforms.

Well thank god you exposed them. I guess that makes you heroes.

Way to go, hero.

 

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

 

The book "Foxocracy" by Tobin Smith is an interesting read.
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.

 

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

 

I agree with most of what you said. It really is hard to say ‘no’ to things like McDonald’s or Wendy’s and go for other food choices that don’t look as ‘appealing’ and tasty as that Wendy’s billboard on the side of the highway with a baconator burger and fries. Our society is centered on constant bombardment with really, really bad food choices, and very few good, healthy options. We are constantly taken advantage of with our hurried pace we operate on too. Companies know that if you’re in a hurry, you will eat anything, even if you know it’s crap food. Like in the airports or driving cross country, fast food businesses know that if they set up shop on that one rural exit 100 miles away from that major city, people are going to want to stop and eat and they really won’t care if it’s fast food. They just want to eat. They know we are very likely not going to stop and say “eh, idk, maybe we’ll get fast food later, let’s keep on driving and look for healthier options.” They know we need food in our bellies now, not later on.

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?

 

Just had to say, +1 for somebody finally acknowledging SEAT WIDTH OVER SEAT PITCH. 3x3 on a 737 or A320 is rough for an average-sized male, and it's not the legroom. Also, one armrest for two people is dastardly and unethical. Even with two Midwesterners both refusing it out of politeness, everybody loses. Ditch the pitch and make it 5-abreast.

 

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.

 

Take your diatribe elsewhere.

 

He’ll probably tell you he is the second coming of Jesus Christ because he thinks so fondly of himself.
