I was thinking–not too hard, mind you, but I noticed that many football coaches and such have large beer bellies.
Furthermore, we have the sumo wrestler. Some sumo wrestlers go for speed and power, but the majority just go for momentum.
And, anyway, if you exercise a ton, aren’t you just replacing one kind of obesity with another? Michael Phelps eats just as much as Homer Simpson.
As you can see, we never truly escape the concept of God–err, I mean…
“Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can’t see them.” — Steve Eley
Don’t know what the confusion is about in this thread.
To escape obesity, all you have to do is eat no more (meaning calories) than you burn off.
An extreme work out would maybe burn 1000 calories and take hours to do, but someone that has poor eating habits can consume 2000 calories in 10 minutes without even thinking about.
In the States, so much food has sweetener in it, and so many jobs tie you to a desk for 8+hours 5+days a week.
And if you walk or bike to work or anywhere, the others will look down on it because you will appear to not have a car (materialism - our religion here).
where as I think I understand what you are trying to say… fat obesity does not relate yo muscle obesity… Micheal Phelps eats so much because his metabolism demands it. Where as homer simpson, doesnt do anything but sit in a chair all day…
A strange comparison, but fair all the same
I may have wish i deleted this in the morning…
Michael Phelps has the munchies.
True, dat.
Not so much.
Not true! Homer has flown in space and traveled widely in both space and time. He has met many world leaders and other well known figures.
He uttered the infamous line: “Listen son, let this be a lesson to you: if anything’s difficult to learn, it’s not worth doing. So, put the guitar in the closet with the chess set, the unicycle, and the crystal radio… and let’s go watch TV.”
