I know everyone likes to be mean, but let’s be creative here: It’s not just the stereotypical fat American. Look at our athletes and body builders, a lot of people who could possibly be in these terms are healthy by all metrics; some Americans are just taller and more muscular.

I’m not downplaying the obesity epidemic, but I feel like a more generic term is appropriate here.

God that whole interview was pathetic. It was obvious Alex was trying to do the dad talk with someone who just did not buy in.

I feel this, that menu was a favorite with times it rolled around.

Yeah, none of this is based in reality dude. Look at our movie stars, any magazine, and people on TV. This shit isn’t normalized.

Alternatively: Capitalism has robbed the working class of any time for exercise while simultaneously pushing food that is dirt cheap to make with artificial additives that lead to excess consumption.

But that doesn’t fit the convenient narrative of “it’s all society’s fault,” which pushes all blame and need for action off the observer.

We call these sovereign citizens. They are a loosely connected group of conspiracy theorists who believe by invoking the correct legal terms, they can be covered by, but not behold to, the laws and regulations of the USA.

Sometimes it’s just someone who doesn’t want to pay taxes. Other times you get this, occasionally they do weird ass communes.

Yeah, I’m sitting here wondering how these people do things and enjoy life. Like, if people understood from a microbiology level how filthy literally everything is, they’d realize frankly none of it matters.

I disagree, I feel like this is an attempt to inject emotion and empathy into a topic that usually garners hostility. Think of the people usually reading The Wallstreet Journal: it’s not anyone young you imagine, perhaps someone with terms like “commies” still in lingo from the 70s and 80s?

I read this as an attempt to humanize a group that their target audience would usually alienate. The photos help with generating those emotions.

It’s been a minute since I heard a line from Goodburger

And the world was forever lighter for it.
