I love when they criticise running because "it's bad for your knees." Because being a 400lb sack of dead weight is great for knees.

It's fucking SALON, aka the biggest cesspool of SJW garbage aka the liberal Breitbart. What else can you expect?

Wow, this is fucked on so many levels. I think the most idiotic paragraph is this:

"Supermodels like Tiegs, and the fitness personalities who have made Instagram and YouTube the modern-day mid-morning infomercial, have the luxury of such ideals: They are literally paid to be hard bodies, doing crunches the same way most of us crunch expense reports; and even if they don’t have private chefs, then they could, perhaps, turn their sojourns to Fresh Market into tax writeoffs. The immaculately packaged uber-fit lifestyle they present is a world away from the workaday drudgery that keeps so many of us housed and fed (even if from an office vending machine): There are no gray cubicles under fluorescent lighting better-suited for an interrogation room; no hands chapped and raw from washing other people’s dishes; no slow grinds through traffic and no bus rides spent inhaling our neighbors’ armpits. The hot, “healthy” bod with the 35-inch waist is, in its own way, a totem of leisure, just as the soft-bodied beauties of yore relied on their double chins and their fair skins to show that they were the pampered elite."

First off, TOPKEK at a 35 inch waist being its equivalent of a hard body...that's like 2" smaller than my hips, and I've got childbirthing hips and weightlifter ass....I would 100% be obese if I had a 35" waist, and I'm not petite by any means.

Secondly, I hate that fucking argument about how people who make their money by looking good/being fit are that way because that's their job. These butterbarges always forget that all these people BUILT their careers on having bodies like that. They didn't just walk into a Men's Health office with a dadbod or into an Elite Models casting session with cellulite craters on their ass....they were, at some point, maintaining a slender and/or fit body WHILE WORKING or going to school. Eventually, they were able to make enough money off of their looks to quit those jobs, but in order to get to that point, they had to be in enviable shape to begin with.

Don't tell hammy about my 22.5" waist! She'd think I were anorexic! 35" on any woman would be too much. I can't believe she thinks that's a healthy size for a woman's waist!

This lady is clearly just susceptible to marketing hype that exists in any industry, including the food-products industry. Of course all the latest fads, diets, and food labels are bullshit. The solution is easy and generally applicable: ignore the trends, stick with the "classic" tried-and-true options. The nutritional differences between organic/non-GMO/free-range and their conventional counter-parts are marginal, and don't come close to impacting health the way the difference between consuming 2000 calories vs 8000 calories a day does. It's this simple: fats are fat because they eat too much, whereas humans understand CICO. Just buy a bag of carrots, some chicken, some broccoli and shut up, you stupid bitch.

Maybe it's different elsewhere but here in Britain I do tend to buy organic or soil association verified stuff when I can not for any health benefits as such but more for environmental benefits. Thanks to rulings from the EU when products bear those labels they really do have to meet strict standards so it's not quite as much a hipstery trendy thing here (of course the hipsters do still bleat on about it but at least it's somewhat meaningful)

People talk about the big bad diet industry as if there weren't fat (heh) cats profiting off of the obesity epidemic over at the Coca-Cola and McDonald's headquarters.

How is it these people can write panicky articles about "oh no, thin culture is ruining us" and "but eating disorders you guys" when obesity is at an all time high and climbing consistently?
