Fire Hydrant of Freedom

yep

diet of fat, protein, veggies and leafy greens= less chance
diet prescribed by big Agra and big pharma= customer for life, even though the quality and span will be reduced

Taube is a cool bit as he mostly concerns himself with investigating whether science is actually science or not

and in the clip he goes over some of the studies showing decreased caloric intake and obesity being concomittant

and

in a couple cases obesity on the bottom and
emaciation on the top

did those folks starve their faces and feed their butts?

south park it's not

interesting eh?

choices are not all made at the conscious level
some are made at the genetic level

then ther is the enteric nervous system

That would apply to these?

odds are high
most of the supplements on the market are repackaged private label gigs

you could has Guru Crafty's dog-zymes on sale and flying off the shelves

most of what I have been able to learn leads toward enzymes being good for lactose digestion inflammation and assisting in lipolysis
other than that....it would seem another bottle of magic beans
happy to be proven wrong though
all I need is a few peer reviewed 3rd party double blind studies without confirmation bias and I will happily concede

precisely so
"a high standard of living"
less stress
more leisure time
more active life styles
less access to the kinds of "food" we have here

does not disprove, rather highlights the point I am making
and as stated by other members
activity level is a determining factor

most folks here in the US spend more time prone or seated than moving
and when they do move, it tends to ne in a seated position
with little regard for function, chasing caloric intake goals and unreasonable body images

six pack abs are a producible low bodyfat percentage not muscular development
a giant ass can be the result of deadlifting as easily as never moving it

we have not even addressed body image dystopia and parietal lobe disorders
or feedback loops stemming from trauma

choice is pretty vague

sometimes as active and fit individuals we may find ourselves falling into the trap of thinking since we find it easy than everyone should be able to do it as easily, whatever it is

talk to a mugging victim about stick fighting
if they were successful in defending themselves they will likely be receptive
if not however the terror just talking about it can bring up is a thing to behold

if mom gave you a candy bar whenever you did right
you will have that wired in

the neurons that wire together fire together

food is a drug

addiction is no joke

do junkie choose to be junkies or is it a process that starts witha choice and ends with the monkey

First let us define our terms-Socrates

define healthy
define choice
define theory

a side point

food is a drug when it is manufactured rather than grown

opioid response from fat/sweet/salt
the chemists working for major food producers are tasked with utilizing that response

stress causes a decrease is lipolysis and cellular protein uptake, and an increase in the amount of glucose and fat that us in the blood stream

the idea that it is a choice is silly frankly

no one chooses to place themselves in a socially and physically detrimental state
no one chooses to be in a position of ridicule and in which they will be held in contempt by their fellow man
we are social and highly emotional creatures that require interaction with other creates of our kind to survive in a healthy manner
there may be some rare exceptions
those folks will likely tell you " it took a while to get used to, but I became my own company"

if I take food, synthesize it, remove all of the nutrients and replace the "food with chemical substances that mimic the food in the body, then price those substances lower than food, am I a drug pusher or a captain of industry

being a person that helps people lose, manage, and overcome the obstacles to their physique issues, I deal with folks that come in all shapes and sizes

I de-stress their bodies and minds with movement, educated them about nutrition and how food works in the chemical processes of our bodies, show them exercises theycan use to make it easy
and they get better

no one consciously chooses worse
that is bs

not so humble opinion there
it's fact

everyone wants better
some people don't have access to better, physically, mentally, emotionally or through some other limiting factor
but they would not turn better away if they could get
better
