PBP: Joe Biden vs Donald Trump :: The Election That Just Won’t End Thread :: [R]

But you could have a terrible diet and still be skinny, just because your body has a natural metabolism. Being fat isn't necessarily indicative of being unfit/unhealthy. Look at some of those NFL linesmen. Or sumo wrestlers. Or.....

Fat ≠ unhealthy, although the two correlate. In Trump's case, it does.

 

there is that .....

 

who wouldn't last 15 minutes in, eg, a professional soccer game.
unless playing in goal I guess.

their aerobic fitness is atrocious.

 

How well do you think ultra-marathoners & cyclists would do at soccer? Terribly, that's how.

 

Sumo wrestlers have a lifespan of 60-65. Japan has a life expectancy of 84.

 

Better than an offensive lineman. Although I suppose a nose tackle could on occasion come in handy for holding up the ball while in the opponent's box.

 

And NFL linemen used to have average lifespans in the late 50s. Don't know where it is at these days. But they are not healthy. They eat horrifically to maintain their weights.

 

WHen I was in journalism I covered township meetings. Watching the Michigan meeting reminded me of that and as to why I don't miss it too much.

 

Yeah, I'm the same but mine's a pork pie disorder...

 

Obesity is the most studied health condition there is, and it's not even close. So much money is being spent on it because the person that cracks it will make a billionaire look like a pauper. But we still have no idea why some people get fat and others don't.

 

Dude, we appreciate you around here but sometimes you can learn from others who have been around the block and been fighting that fight for decades now.
Beyond that, as I mentioned, you need to get your facts right, Spanberger never mentioned BLM at any point. You should have corrected that.

 

Hmm.. I think you're stretching your argument a bit there, dude...

The better argument is to point out that the criteria applied to women's looks is different to men in politics,

 

I have a hard time equating the two. I've seen some amazing organizers, teachers, administrators who give everything they have to be the best they can be, and weight/health management is just something that doesn't get tended to. I can't possibly say they shouldn't be in that role just because they are overweight, even morbidly obese.

I have a brother who his morbidly obese, probably because he got a LOT of antibiotics as a child. He works out a bunch, but will NEVER EVER not be morbidly obese. Just looking at him, ymany think he's lazy and feeble-minded. He's had to deal with that his whole life. Whereas, I've never broke 160# and don't think I ever will. I have barely exercised at all since my 1st daughter was born 3.5yrs ago.
