So fed up with the anti-anti-fat crusade

[Writers_block]

I just need to vent...

What the bleep is going on with our society?

We have become so hell bent on promoting self esteem at all costs that we have, in an almost Orwellian fashion, completely lost the ability to acknowledge a very simple truth about ourselves...it is not "good" to be overweight.

Throughout the entire arc of human history, the general problem with people has been finding enough food, not having too much. Now in a few short decades we have gone from lean and healthy to bloated and lethargic. And we respond culturally by redefining what it means to be healthy. Healthy is a state of mind, a feeling of contentment with ones self.

I call b.s. on all of that. Healthy means something beyond just feeling good about yourself. It means something objective and measurable.

I am not an Adonis. I understand it's challenging. I am a desk jockey who spends hours a day crunching numbers on excel. Between work and other responsibilities I know how hard it is to hit the treadmill on my lunch hour to log a 3 mile jog.

And there is nothing wrong with struggling, nothing wrong with failing. It doesn't make you a less valuable person in any way. But what I do think is wrong is not acknowledging that physical fitness, which cannot coexist with obesity no matter what Chris Christie says, is something to which ALL should aspire.

I must say, that is a truly impressive "first post" on a porn board

Equally impressive is the biography

The Brits came out of WWII healthier than they had been in years. Enforced rationing led to huge benefits for peoples weight and health. Not perfectly by any means. My dad told me of passing out from low blood sugar at times.

Desk job, 1.8k calories a day, dock worker 3.5k calories a day. A desk jockey these days can eat 3k easily. When I was in my twenties working construction I ate 3.5 to4k calories a day. And still weighed 125lbs. While desk worker buddies packed on the weight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Health_effects

In December 1939 Elsie Widdowson and Robert McCance of the University of Cambridge tested whether the United Kingdom could survive with only domestic food production if U-boats ended all imports. Using 1938 food-production data, they fed themselves and other volunteers one egg, one pound of meat, and four ounces of fish a week; one quarter pint of milk a day; four ounces of margarine; and unlimited amounts of potatoes, vegetables, and wholemeal bread. Two weeks of intensive outdoor exercise simulated the strenuous wartime physical work Britons would likely have to perform. The scientists found that the subjects' health and performance remained very good after three months, with the only negative results being the increased time needed for meals to consume the necessary calories from bread and potatoes, and what they described as a “remarkable” increase in flatulence from the high amount of starch in the diet.[20]

The results—kept secret until after the war—gave the government confidence that if necessary food could be distributed equally to all, including high-value war workers, without causing widespread health problems. Britons’ actual wartime diet was never as severe as in the Cambridge study because imports from America successfully avoided the U-boats,[20] but rationing improved the health of British people; infant mortality declined and life expectancy rose, discounting deaths caused by hostilities. This was because it ensured that everyone had access to a varied diet with enough vitamins

I might be wrong, but Hard Rom is on my list of suspects, too.
He is, imo, among the few who would think of creating an alt purely for the awesome fun & entertainment, but without any of the nastiness.

No Alt for me. Don't need one. I can fly below owners, admin and mod radar. All I might do is piss off righties, gun nuts and racists. And I have no problems doing that.

I would prefer to do it in the politics thread. But the chicken shit fucks hide in the GB like terrorists hide in a school district.

Very good show. TVO shows lots of BBC programs after daytime kids programming.

I am sorry Dr, but where did you do your studies?

Unless you have done so, shut the fuck up.
