Sometimes I watch old shows and documentaries and you realize people were much skinnier before

It's like watching an old r&b music video and realizing half the video models were just slim with cute faces

There's just too much access to fast food which makes sense because the daily 9-5 grind makes it hard to try to cook your meals at home or even meal prep

Smh fatphobia.....the more in shape you are, the more in demand you'll be...take notes
Last week one of my stepuncles posted some pictures of him in his army days during the 70s for veterans day. Looking at him and a lot of the men he served with and they were so skinny but were in much better shape. The thing is these guys were drafted or enlisted and went straight to basic training within days/weeks and were able to get through the training. Now the military is having a hard time recruiting because so many people are overweight and out of shape. Even when I served over a decade ago it wasn't as bad as it is now.

As a 90s child, eating fast food like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, etc was rare and was special as crazy as it sounds but you have people growing up eating it multiple times a week.

Fat pwople dont live long. If you cannot run a city block, you out of shape. Plus of you over 30, obesity will lead you to some very GRAVE dangers. Irreversible ones.

I dont understand these eat Twitter birds thinking that it cool being :flabbynsick: over the age of 30. That's a ticking time bomb of premature death.

This is what we get for making unhealthy food more easily accessible and cheaper than healthy food.

This is what we get for not making sports and play a rewarding part of youth and instilling a love of physical activity early in kids.

This is what we get for not investing in subsidized child care so kids can go to day care and eat healthy while parents are at work

And this is is what we get for not teaching teenagers about child development, mental health and parenting early. Our system assumes a 2 parent household with one parent working a max of 40 hours a week who can instill these lessons into their kids. Overworked parents throw a bucket of kfc at a screaming child so they can have a moments peace. The result is a child that associates food as a coping strategy.

Its not a coincidence that this isn't a big problem in countries like Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Germany, Denmark, or Norway.

Yeah, and the health problems. The health problems are not talked about enough!

why is it always black people pushing this bullshyt??

Cause it takes zero discipline to remain stagnant. Like Trap music being made on a laptop.

Its like the more technology improces, the lazier people get and take the most shortcuts. Its like discipline and consistent hard work in America is a foreign concept nowadays.

Blame godless liberals

Those other 1st world countries are far more progressive ECONOMICALLY/socially than America, and they have zero issues with obesity.

Snack and fast food companies are dedicated to making their food extremely addicting through "food science". My doctor rants about this shyt all the time. There's also fukked up shyt like food deserts in the cities where the only cheap and accessible food was the carryout and the corner store selling that steak and cheese special for $5.25.:francis:

shyt, I didn't find out about legit healthy eating options until I entered the workforce. The reason you see a lot of "picky eaters" is because folks ain't cook the veggies right or ate that shyt out of a can. Growing up how many black folks was eating things like lentil soup or veggie stir fry's?

Also stay the fukk away from sodas.

Half of them will drop dead in less than 10 years. :coffee:

breh there isn’t shyt anyone can do about this outside of outlawing certain kinds of foods and portions and that will never happen

we’re getting older and seeing people in our own demographic looking :flabbynsick: and all you can do it stick to your regimen


People are gonna do whatever they want anyway whether it’s food, drugs, booze, poor $ management or bad relationships.

After a certain point, a lot of people are dying abruptly and suddenly over preventable issues. As long as You exercising daily, eating right, and getting at least 6 hours of sleep per night, you winning. Those (fat) heads that refuse to work out and eat clean, will find themselves at an ICU and probably never getting out alive. Father Time is always undefeated, and it will expose every ill habit you ever done in your life. Some won't even live to see the age of 40, and I, too, accepted that.

American liberalism creates a loss of standards. Before you know it the people who need standards are telling you what the standard is.

If people took care of themselves in this country covid wouldn't have been so bad.
You can't make a lifestyle out of going to sit from one place to the next and say people need to be ashamed for being concerned.

I’m so glad I’m not a fat slob anymore. I wasn’t huge or fat af, biggest I’ve been was 215 at 5’11. Probably mid 150s maybe less and I’m easily in the best shape of my life. Makes pulling too easy
