Have you seen her perform?? I know she’s big but I bet she’s in better shape than a lot of us smaller humans. She’s got insane stamina and is strong as hell. She dances around on stage and sings and then is somehow not too winded to play the flute.
That’s great. Her organs are also being strangled and smothered by fat which will eventually kill her in her sleep. These are facts, Adele is smarter. Heathers was a satire— suicide is not cool. Advertising your food addiction proudly is no worse than proudly being addicted to heroin. You’re still killing yourself. “Fat Acceptance” is the dumbest woke push EVER.
Ehh. Let’s not confuse self-confidence with being in shape. She’s 5’10” and over 300 lbs. According to BMI charts, her blood is made out of gravy.
Act out however you want. When you start advertising that there’s nothing wrong with being fat you need to sit down and shut up, because you’re a harmful liar. Rogan is one of very few with a large platform who will speak out against this.
This is why I would never want my children to look up to someone like that. Being confident is great, but keep that separate from having a dangerous relationship with food. I think, sadly, a lot of these people have mental challenges that need to be addressed. So I’m not for making fun of them, but absolutely don’t hold this up in a positive light
There's a fine line to walk. On the one hand you don't want to encourage clearly unhealthy behavior, on the other hand the idea that if you're overweight you should despise yourself and the world should shun you isn't helping anybody either. There are also structural issues that contribute like the fact that the sugar lobby conned our dumb asses into thinking fat was the problem when it was their sucrose sabotage all along.
Pssh, whatever. I eat my 6-11 servings of bread and pasta daily. I feel just fine in my wheelchair that I own because I no longer have feet.
Did I see you at the DMV the other week? I get not making people feel like fucking shit. The problem with Lizzo is that in our fucked up society people have ran with her as the poster child for body positivity and that there is no room at all for criticism to the point of openly denying the health implications. It's been pretty fucking clear for years now consuming vast amounts of sugars and starches is terrible for you. Dietary information is everywhere these days. If you want to change the sugar lobby isn't in your way.
Still, a lot of these habits are cultural and get put onto kids before they know better. One of the craziest things I ever saw was a coworker who we hired out of Alabama and relocated to California. It was his first job and he went from 250+ lbs at 5'4" to ~150 lbs in a year or two just because Californians don't drink soda at every meal the way he did growing up.
Yeah... no shit. The video is a month old... and the clips are so short and edited it's not funny (for all we know the dude is huffing O2 between those 2 second clips).... but yeah... this could very well be interesting. Mike is in pretty great shape for his age, and while he doesn't seem to have that "elephant knock-out" power any more, I'm pretty sure it'll fuck you up if you got hit. The fight is going to be interesting to see old man strength combined with old man movement... for all we know it might be like a half-speed, half-power fight from them in their prime.
God damn it, y'all....how did this get so serious? There's a distinction between self-acceptance, i.e. "I'm a fat fuck, because I like gummy bears and hate cardio. Nothing about that is healthy, but I can still be likeable as a person." and "body positivity" which can be taken to very illogical extremes like "fat is beautiful". No, Chub-a-grub, sunrises are beautiful. Fat is fat, and if you think it's fuckable, that's your taste and I stop giving a shit at that point. If you think it's healthy, more people should be fat, or you deserve the same admiration as someone who works hard on their body to keep it in model shape, you're full of shit. One of the hardest things for me is to balance the need for self-improvement and self acceptance, as it pertains to managing depression, and Lizzo had a quote about self-acceptance that put her on my radar, and then I listened to her music, and shit is catchy yo. Maybe it's more about not hating yourself for your flaws, than pretending those things aren't flaws? I dunno. All I know is that it's patently absurd for me to listen to her music when I am on my motorcycle, but it's fun as fuck.
Awwww, damn.... that recording at the end. Who the hell is cutting onions in here? *off to go call my son.
