"Look at the people who use their potential — who do actually give it everything... The Beckhams or Roy Keanes of this world. People charging! Running up and down the field, swearing and shouting at each other. Are they happy? No! They're destroying themselves! Who's happy? You! The fat f**ks watching them!"

-Dylan Moran.

You can lead an active lifestyle without attending a gym.



We don't eat healthier, lifestyle diseases are occurring at a much higher rate than ever. are you saying obesity and diabetes don't reduce quality of life?

to call obesity a lifestyle disease is an oversimplification of what is,on a world scale,a disease of exploitation rather than lifestyle.It is political in nature and not solved for most by a quick trip to a personal trainer and a personalised diet .The greatest rise in its incidence at present is in India ,where a growing middle class youth are being seduced by greedy capitalistic Multi Nationals who are taking advantage of a food regulation system that hasn't caught up with regulations in the Western World.

In the US large proportions of the most obese are those who live in the poorest districts ,who work long hours in senators jobs and who have very limited access and time available to acquire,prepare or pay for natural fresh foods.
They have extremely limited access to open spaces an d zip chance of a gym membership.
As I said before...a little knowledge....

There isn't a fat f**k in the world who can't spare an hour to participate in physical activity. As for the being poor excuse, even a poor person has access you healthier options. You value your health, you find a way.

The issue is education, big business and the general lardonot valuing health enough too much influence over nutrition guidelines and supply of any food.

The perception that professional athletes are particularly healthy is also stupid.

Hey guys, remember when Cliffhanger said life expectancy has nothing to do with health?

Life expectancy can increase without the population actuallybeing healthier. I never said they were unrelated.You can live a lot longer while being really sick all the time.

Also for your information, life expectancy is expected to dip despite the advancing of technology.

The average teenage boy these day can't even do half as many pushups as the average teenage boy several decades ago, their heart rate is higher, their waists wider, there more likely to have diabetes.

It's actually considerably more expensive to eat healthy food than it is to eat fast food, especially in the US where a family living below the poverty line can get three burgers for $1.99 while an actually healthy meal comes in at five or six times that amount at a minimum.

To say it's easy to eat healthy is something you can say because you live at home and therefore have more disposable income than a working class person.

Cliffy is a douche who knows nothing about life.

I pay board at home and buy my own food as I only eat organic raw foods.

There are alternatives healthier than feeding your family burgers. They're are healthier cheaper options which are accessible to them.

Here, perhaps. But the original example was the US. I can assure you, there is always cheaper junk food.

And are we debating 'healthier' or 'healthy'? I mean, it's possible to find healthier alternatives to fast food. But to eat organic, well planned diets is not cheap.

It amuses me when fitness freaks think they are happier than non-freak people.

You know how I know fitness freak are miserable? They eat carrots.

 

[umina panther]

Oi carrots go alright

 

[God-King Dean]

Up my bum, maybe.

 

[afinalsin666]

Naw that's yams.

 

[afinalsin666]

For the poverty part, there are no cheap options. You go to a chicken factory, for a hundred bucks you can get enough processed chicken to feed you for a month. I've been there, many times. So broke you need to make 25 a week spread. Buy the healthy shit and you eat for a couple days, tops.

But, and here is the kicker, you eat that shit for long enough, whether out of desperation or choice or whatever, that is what starts being normal. This is what food tastes like, because you have always had it. Then you eat the good quality stuff and it tastes bad, because it isn't the bad food you know.

And when you are that broke, you aren't going anywhere. A gym membership is half your food bill. You can't afford to do anything so you don't do anything.

I know being broke. I know eating bad, and the reasons for it. There is no way to eat healthy in true poverty. At all.

 

[dogslife]

I just feast on the hopes and dreams of those around me.

 

[Dani]

I got into the habit of being so broke I lived off bread and pasta which is just horrid. Sometimes couldn't even afford butter. Sometimes I had to eat around the mouldy slices of bread.

These days I eat mostly fruit and veges. While I'm still very skint, I have a gym membership and I go as much as my body allows me too. It's the lightest I've been in probably 5 years.

 

[afinalsin666]

Aye that's what I'm talking about. Being poor is shit.

These days I eat mince from woolies. 5 bucks a kilo. That's pretty much it, I'm a carnivore.

 

[Dragon2010]

I eat relatively healthy - like for lunch today I had some sushi.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

when i was poor i went through alot of tins of tuna. a dozen tins at $1.20 a pop and a bag of rice can go along way for very little cash

 

[dogslife]

Sushi has to be the worst bang for your buck item of food. I can spend $20 and still leave hungry
