Maybe I have low standards, but his presentation seems fine. Massively obese people are always difficult to look at. I actually though well of Linus for putting this guy on. When you start using fat people as models, that's ridiculous. Fat people presenting information is fine. Based on my assessment of morbidly obese people, they're dumber than average. That's one reason you don't see a lot of hugely obese smart people. But you see a lot of em with quite a few extra pounds on.

IT has a lot of overweight/obese people but that is caused mostly due to the job not really promoting a healthy lifestyle.

I go to the actual gym just to get out of the house. But to each his own.

Yeah I'm not obese, but I have a few extra on me. I mean literally a few, <10. It's really hard to work (ie sit on ass) every day and then go to the gym. In the sense of: I'll start the day fine and then 9 hours into it just be like fuck it I don't want to go to the gym any more and THEN have to finish my work. Some days.

What I should do is go in the morning.

I don't think it's any different from why anyone else is obese, though. You do even less physical work than many jobs where people at least walk around. But that's a matter of degree.
