Reading the article, what it tells me is more and more girls and women are getting fat. No one is educated on calories, and the stigma of counting them is still considered a sign of a n eating disorder. The depression of being fat mounts, and the fat models on tv only serve to let them feel good about over eating while making them feel like shit because they aren't those airbrushed hourglass fats. These girls will act on depression, not eat for most of a day which is never recommended unless you are doing it for fasting purposes, then they eat and binge. This cycle continues.

So we have people hating being body positive but getting fatter. I say the problem is education. America is utterly fucked. I am helping a new friend lose weight, and his personal trainers and a doctor said to not exercise more than 45 minutes or else he will burn his muscle away. I rightfully set him straight on that. We have professionals telling enormous people to watch out for starvation mode as well. Had someone who went to nursing school get utterly pissed at me when I said it wasn't true, and she was thin.

I don't think there is anyway to fix this aside from a massive overhaul of teaching better shit in schools. But that isn't going to happen anytime soon, and not with the two candidates coming up. All we can do is stay shitlords and shitlord those close to us, wait till they all die out, and yell a big "I told ya so".

Wait working out for more than 45 mins burns muscle away? Who da fuck came up with that?! Cause by that logic I should be a fat fuck cause Im in the gym for 2-3 hours every other day....I must have funny mirrors in my house that makes me looked ripped. Weird.
