Yep, 36-24-36 use to be the ideal. Now if she looks like the Michelin Man she is beautiful.

This is not accurate. Our metabolism does slow a little but, but the actual studies show that weight gain is caused by people eating more and moving less as they age, not their near dropping.



My man Mingo with a truth drop. Dunno where the whole 10% myth came from. It's about 1% per decade or one 1pth of a percent per year.


People just need to stop eating so damn much, lift weights and move. Kids need to exercise, do pushups, chins and even lift weights or carry around heavy shite and stop eating processed food at every meal.

Mingo, you will find this interesting, a couple new studies showed that overuse in youth baseball is not even close to the reason we are seeing the huge rise in ucl injuries, it's the lack of muscle on kids now compared to years ago.

Like I said they shouldn’t get a parade but unsolicited medical advice isn’t necessary either.



Unsolicited cost on my health insurance isn't needed either.

It’s not a societal problem that you can’t be an a-hole without people thinking you are an a-hole.

You want to be an unapologetic a-hole, be unapologetic. Just don’t be an a-hole and a snowflake

Increasingly sedentary lifestyles play a bigger role, IMO.

I'll post it next week. In Vegas and ain't gonna go search for it.

It was based off the work with cadavers, how the muscle protects the ucl and studies showing pre teen kids carry less muscle today vs previous generations.

I thought Dr heenan had posted it but looks like if he did he deleted it. It had a video of a cadaver but might now have been him and I might be remembering wrong.

And not only do we ignore it, we glorify it. "Stop making fun of Lizzo she is beautiful".

I think we should recognize that fat or skinny isn't beauty. We still shouldn't make fun of fat people.

But we also shouldn't say it's perfectly fine either. We should recognize that no matter what, obese is always unhealthy. Obesity leads to diabetes and high blood pressure. These diseases are very serious.

We say smoking is unhealthy. We encourage people to stop. Being obese is exactly the same. If we had to pay more for health insurance because of obesity, uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure, or obesity we'd probably all decide to get healthier. I think it would be quite fair for folks to pay more. I'm too heavy and it would encourage me to get healthier.

To play off that, the “unrealistic beauty standard”, which is the reason behind the body positivity movement, is total bullshite.

The bottom line is just to eat less food. It’s that simple.


Sort of. I look at how people ate when I was a child 50 years ago. In the 60s and 70s, people weren't going out to eat every time you turned around. I remember eating out around 2-3 times a month. Nobody was just grabbing fast food for the kids every other night. The most likely fast food for my dinner as a kid was a tv dinner and it wasn't supersized. It had pretty small portions.

Drinks, candy bars, potato chip bags, all of it, were much smaller portions. The fries that I ordered on the rare occasion I went to McD's were the equivalent of a small now. The medium drink then was the equivalent of a small now.

Pretty much everything about food here is quite messed up. Yes, you can still eat like we did then, but it's not what we are used to doing anymore.
