During my list making I stumbled on this article
It's about historical calorie intake and workouts. People were eating way more calories, and doing less, and still had a lower body weight. We are constantly being told to lower our calories, exercise, and fight the obesity epidemic. Nothing fits by the historical records. Every suggestion is wrong.
I knew something was weird when I was told by a lower rich class guy that the poor couldn't afford real food. He meant the super expensive but not as good food at those special grocery stores.
It appears that the way this is done is
-
Choose something no one knows that well.
-
Have an obvious fake news that is prompted by all media.
-
Make one side look stupid and lazy.
-
Promote the bad side as rebellions
-
Have tons of business to deal with the non existent problem both for and against
-
Change the word use if people start to catch on.
-
Promote laws stopping the Lazy Stupid people from being tricked by Evil. Said laws remove rights from everyone.
-
Have demonstrations and big promotions against said thing for people to make money to 'battle' the problem. This is all a scam of some kind.
-
The Lazy Stupid people are told they are special and beautiful. This niche is used for money laundering. No one is told it's not an actual problem.
I've seen this in obesity, Covid, videogames, global warming, hawks in England, sparrows in China, and several others. What others can you think of? Why is obesity promoted so hard, and what is the truth?
Most fitness Youtubers/Instagrammers are frauds.
But protein supplements aren't cheating, though. It's just a convenient way to up your protein intake, without having to eat vast amounts of food. It's also used in medical treatments to accelerate the repair of bedsores in the elderly or in other situations.
The Dark Side of Steroids.
Fair warning - graphic imagery. If you're one to be squeamish at autopsy photos, don't watch.
Anyone who's interested in taking steroids should watch it, though. It'll kill the urge to do so completely.
