Is this hugely hypocritical?

[jennifer_bloom]

All these YouTubers and authors are writing about how people are fatter in America due to gluttony and laziness. That’s now why they are fat. They are fat for other reasons and Asians are skinny for other reasons. I know why some people are fat and why others eat like crazy and don’t gain weight but I am hiding that and keeping it to myself.

What you eat has nothing to do with it. And no it is not hugely hypocritical. It is not hugely hypocritical at all. But, it doesn't so much have as much to do with how much you shove into your face, it has to do with the quality of what you're shoving in your face. Most in our diets today have processed sugars. Most in our diets today have processed and simple carbs versus complex carbs. Most people especially Americans don't get enough fiber in our diets. And fiber is what flushes toxins and keeps you from gaining weight. All of our food in our grocery stores has been stripped of mainly all the good stuff and then left with all the bad because we have too much conglomeracy in our food production here in this country. This is the reason why you don't get healthy food, is it because you need to make somebody on the stock exchange rich. And, how every business works is they need to cut quality increase profits and get higher return for their shareholders that's the way it works. This is why business and food should not mix. But, Americans are fat not so much because they're lazy. But, with all the shit that we have available to us to shove in our face, and Americans do it. People in other parts of the world read labels people in other parts of the world care about what they put into their system. Americans don't they just shove whatever in their face. If it's got a big M on the package from a world famous stolen business, then they're going to shove it down their face. That can of mountain Dew with high fructose corn syrup in it, they're going to have five cans. So no it is not hugely hypocritical at all. It's actually a learning experience to be able to watch those videos, and if you're smart enough, you will make the changes necessary in your lifestyle.

Well, it's a different perspective, I guess.

I think it's more likely due to our culture of driving everywhere and spending our free time watching t. v. instead of walking to the pub every night and stumbling back. Other countries have had thousands of years to build pedestrian-friendly cultures... we... drive everywhere and don't socialize (as much).

[SeymourBill420]

You are way out of touch as far as why Americans are fat

[antelope51]

@SeymourBill420 In other countries, I easily walk 11+ miles per day. Here... 50'.

[SeymourBill420]

Walking doesn't have anything to do with physical activity. You can replace walking with a lot of other things a lot of other activities. There are many more activities that are much more strenuous than walking. But it's not so much about what you do physically as it is about what you stick in your face. And food here in the United States if you compare labels between the same manufacturers that deliver food distortions in the United States versus delivering food to store shelves in the uk, or anywhere in Europe. You will see a much different set of ingredients. And, because the European Union mandates all the food that can be sold in the eu. And they have much tighter restrictions on what can be sold to their people whereas here in the United states, they don't give a flying fuck about your health as long as you're making some shareholder richer. So, if you look at a box of macaroni and cheese by kraft, you will be ingesting about 10 things you don't need to ingest.

ok junk food, stops off at this place that place. Just imagine at the end of the week and the end of a month and the end of the year how many chemicals that you don't need to be ingesting that you are ingesting. And the human body, if it sees something that is foreign to it like a chemical or something non-organic. It's not going to know how to process this. And it's going to sit internally in your body until your body can deal with it. And usually you'll just excrete it. Or it'll sit in your colon. And this is how weight gets on people. People need to mainly watch what they are eating and the chemicals that they are adjusting and the things that they don't understand on ingredients labels they need to look them up. Because they're hard to pronounce for a reason. And they're not designed to be in your body. And when they're in your body your body doesn't know what to do with it. And it collects says fat

[SeymourBill420]

And, you can easily walk someplace 11 miles here in the United States. Or anywhere in the world. Where I live you can easily walk 11 miles. You can easily walk 20. You can easily walk 30 if you wanted to walk 30. You can even go up mountain you can go down mountain. Have a little resistance up mountain. There's no excuse why a person can't walk 11 miles. Just put one foot in front of the other until you want to turn around. You can do this in any City. So there's no excuse if that's what you wanted to do
