Polls: Health & Fitness

I personally don't agree. Unless obesity was caused by illness I just do not agree with it. I've seen elderly people on canes ask for less help than people with obesity.

Unless someone can justifiably state why it is, it is laughable to promote laziness. Anyone with a physical disability can claim welfare...which hurts us taxpayers.

Okay, so you frequent a restaurant where a guy you really like works at. He is your age. You go there partly because of the good food and partly because of him. As a matter of fact, when you make the decision to go over there, he is in the back of your mind. Then when you stroll in, its all electric smiles between you and him.

One day, he makes your food, does a pristine job. Its to go today, so you kindly request to go bag and drive back your vehicle to your work place. When opening up the wrapper you take a nice bite into your sandwich and discover a long strand of hair in it. It can't be his, he doesn't have long hair, and neither you or him noticed this while it was being wrapped. And obviously he didn't do this on purpose, something got on the food but that restaurant is very clean.

Now, what would you do in this situation? The restaurant is 5 minutes from your workplace and the number for the restaurant is on the receipt. Would you, toss the hair out and keep eating? Would you return with the sandwich for a replacement or simply demand a new one on the house?

DISCLAIMER: I am talking solely about nutrition and fitness, not chronic / serious conditions

--------------------------------------

Some people fully trust doctors when it comes to their health and fully take their advice / recommendations seriously when it comes to fitness / nutrition.

Other people think of doctors as over-paid pharmaceutical salespeople, and overall don't trust their advice / recommendations when it comes to health / nutrition.

-------------------------------

When you consider the fact that there is plenty of viable (and bogus) Internet information about health / nutrition / fitness (articles, blogs, forums, etc.), this question definitely gets a lot more interesting

I'm a weirdo with terrible people skills. I'm 28, with no social network where I live. It seems that I will remain isolated forever, because I can't go out and meet anyone.

Since, it seems to me that I will likely be alone forever, should I bother going on a diet and exercising? f***, this really is depressing me.

Some people consider pizza a junk food, others don't.

For some people it depends on if it's pre-packaged (frozen, vaccum-sealed) versus freshly prepared pizza.

Some say that it really depends entirely depends on what the pizza is made with.

Since we all know Ketchup will win, let's settle these two. Which do you like more?

I personally looove mayo. I can only handle a little mustard, but too much can ruin a sandwich or other things for me.

You?

Which do you prefer? I like Flour a lot. mmm mmm

You?

DISCLAIMER: "healthier lifestyle" = improved diet, as well and improved activity levels (I hate the word "exercise"; sounds like a chore)

--------

Some people follow a healthier lifestyle for aesthetic reasons, cauz they want to look good in their swimwear, in their dresses, suits, jeans, etc...and overall want to look their best by having their body, as well as several parts of their body (abs, midsection, arms, back shoulder, etc)...

...to look as good (fit, sculpted, sexy, or any adjective this person strives for) as possible.

Some people follow a healthier lifestyle for health-based reasons, to prevent major illnesses (cancer, stroke, etc) and minor illnesses (flu, high blood pressure, etc) as much as possible...as well as also being focused on having high energy levels and mental alertness.

-----------

Both are extremes, and most people are a blend of the two. But let's be honest...most people are usually more focused on one or the other; it's rarely a perfect 50-50 ratio.

So my question to you is...what is your ratio of concern for "looks/physique/aesthetics" and "overall good health"?

I truly believe deep down in my heart, that in order to be in overall good shape, you have to know how to prepare and cook your own food, because you get to ultimately control the food that goes in your body.

This is especially important in the USA where the "typical" diet is a road to preventable illnesses and degenerate health.
